Question
MySQL server won't start
Yo,
Today after about 3 weeks of not opening up the CLI I tried to add a new MySQL database. When the command failed to run repeatedly, I then tried to restart the MySQL service. When it was starting it, it came up as failed.
I've tried reinstalling MariaDB, I've checked the logs, they had nothing in them, and I've rebooted the droplet a few times. No go.
Says it can't connect to the socket, and it's not a permissions issue as far as I can tell.
It's really weird because before today I hadn't touched anything for about 3 weeks, and my sites that use MySQL were working fine.
Any ideas why this is happening? I appreciate any help.
