Answer 1

You can also comment the line in my.cnf file which is defining the log location, so mysql will consider its default path and will start properly.

log-bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log -> #log-bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log.

This will be helpful if you are not concerned much about logs.
