ERROR! MySQL manager or server PID file could not be found! QNAP

Question

I am having an issue where MySQL isn\'t starting on my QNAP NAS.

I found this first by not being able to log in through phpMyAdmin - was getting error:

Answer 1

Check if your server is full first, thats a common reason (can't create the PID file because you have no space). Run this to check your disk usage..

df -h

If you get something like this, you are full..

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1        40G   40G  6.3M 100% /

In that case, you need to start looking for what to delete to make room, or add an additional drive to your server.
