The MySQL Notifier GUI can also be used to start/stop/restart the MySQL server. … If mysqld doesn’t start, check the error log to see whether the server wrote any messages there to indicate the cause of the problem. By default, the error log is located in the C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\data directory.
Hello, @khudadad
Could you please let me know if you’ve managed to get this sorted or you’re still experiencing the issue?
As already mentioned you can examine the MySQL error_log and see what is causing the issue for you. You can see the last 150 entries logged in the error_log using tail
tail -n 150 /var/log/mysql/error.log
You can also check the journal log:
journalctl -xe
