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:
I have the same problem. I found the file {username}.local.err instead of {username}.local.pid inside /usr/local/mysql, then i changed the name *.err to *.pid and it works fine. Starting MySQL. SUCCESS!
{username}.local.err
{username}.local.pid
/usr/local/mysql
*.err
*.pid
My OS El Capitan 10.11.5
