Couldn't start mysql service in linux
- by Haseena
Iam trying to install one version of mysql in a LINUX machine. The system contain already another version of mysql installation. I prefer manual installation. Copy the exctracted tarball into a location and create symbolic link to that. I wish to install my mysql version without affecting already installed mysql version in the system.
I created mysqld as service. But It couldn't start. When Iam trying to start this mysqld process, it shows an error like:
Starting MySQL............................................................
.........................................
ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/var/lib/mysql/Test.pid).
Please help me, is any wrong with my installation???
