MySQL: Starting MySQL….. ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file

文章来源：http://icesquare.com/wordpress/mysql-starting-mysql-error-the-server-quit-without-updating-pid-file/

今天启动MySQL 遇见了这个问题，网上搜索，结果各种改文件，删除文件纯属坑爹；在上边的网站上发现了问题的解决方案~老外总结的真不错！拿过来自己学习一下

This step-by-step guide is mainly for FreeBSD, however the idea is the same for Linux. Every once a while, when I update my FreeBSD box, the system likes to shutdown my MySQL server. Therefore, I need to start it again after the update is done. Unfortunately, the upgrade process is not smooth every time. Sometimes it will throw me some error.

1，启动MySQL

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql.server start 

2，发现了下述错误
　　

　　Starting MySQL..... ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file.

3，错误信息很明确的定位你出现的问题

 Starting MySQL..... ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/var/db/mysql/www.icesquare.com.pid).

三种解决方案如下：

Solution 1: Reboot The Computer 重启你的电脑

mv /etc/my.cnf /etc/my.cnf.backup

/usr/local/share/mysql/mysql.server start

Starting MySQL. SUCCESS!

Solution 3: Upgrade Your Database File 更新你的数据库文件

Sometimes, the newer MySQL doesn’t like the database created in earlier version. I discovered this when I upgrade to MySQL 5.5.7:

Starting MySQL..... ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/var/db/mysql/www.icesquare.com.pid).


Since MySQL tells me which PID file causes the problem, I open the file and take a look what’s going on:

sudo tail /var/db/mysql/www.icesquare.com.err

And I saw something interesting: tables: Table ‘mysql.proxies_priv’ doesn’t exist:

101112 10:49:16  InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, size = 128.0M
101112 10:49:16  InnoDB: Completed initialization of buffer pool
101112 10:49:16  InnoDB: highest supported file format is Barracuda.
101112 10:49:17  InnoDB: 1.1.3 started; log sequence number 1589404
101112 10:49:17 [ERROR] Fatal error: Can‘t open and lock privilege tables: Table ‘mysql.proxies_priv‘ doesn‘t exist
101112 10:49:17 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /var/db/mysql/www.icesquare.com.pid ended

The reason is very simple. MySQL could not open a table created in the earlier version (< 5.7.7) because it is not compatible with the current version. So, we can try to start the MySQL in safe mode through rc.d. First, you can edit the /etc/rc.conf and put the following into the file:

mysql_enable="YES"
mysql_args="--skip-grant-tables --skip-networking"

Restart MySQL through rc.d:
If you did it right, you should see something like the following:

Starting MySQL.. SUCCESS!

Now, MySQL is already running the safe-mode. We want to perform a MySQL upgrade on all tables:

sudo mysql_upgrade

You should see something like this:

Looking for ‘mysql‘ as: mysql
Looking for ‘mysqlcheck‘ as: mysqlcheck

Running ‘mysqlcheck‘ with connection arguments: ‘--port=3306‘ ‘--socket=/tmp/mysql.sock‘

mysql.procs_priv                                   OK
mysql.servers                                      OK
mysql.slow_log                                     OK
mysql.tables_priv                                  OK
mysql.time_zone                                    OK
mysql.time_zone_leap_second                        OK
mysql.time_zone_name                               OK
mysql.time_zone_transition                         OK
mysql.time_zone_transition_type                    OK
mysql.user                                         OK
Running ‘mysql_fix_privilege_tables‘...
OK

Now, we want to switch the MySQL back to normal mode by commenting the extra options in /etc/rc.conf:

mysql_enable="YES"
#mysql_args="--skip-grant-tables --skip-networking"

And restart MySQL through /etc/rc.d:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server restart

Now the MySQL is up and running again!

Happy MySQLing.
