mysql on amazon linux - MySQL Daemon failed to start

问题

I tried that restarting EC2 instance and sudo service httpd restart.

But I still get this message:

[ec2-user@ip-* ~]$ sudo service mysqld start
MySQL Daemon failed to start.
Starting mysqld:                                           [FAILED]

Also I get this message:

[ec2-user@ip-* ~]$ mysqld

I don't know what should I do..

Cheers!

EDIT

(+ I'm also using amazon RDS.)

Now, I tried sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql too.

But

[ec2-user@ip-* ~]$ mysql_upgrade

As per today the nano instances with 0.5GiB memory do not allow running mysqld - they do not have enough memory. Running a micro instance with 1GiB memory fixes the problem completely. I think guys at AWS should have made a note about this in the LAMP installation instructions, as this research costed me several hours or even a day before I figured it out.

I answer myself to my question to help other people in the same problem.

I resolved this problem from these steps:

Restart your EC2 instance.
Type sudo service httpd restart. (I don't know why I should do these two steps.)
Type sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql. - Before typing this command, check your user= option in your /etc/my.cnf. If there is no user= option, your user is "mysql". (Visit https://stackoverflow.com/a/21435052/1570534)
Change the innodb_buffer_pool_size option inside /etc/my.cnf from 128 (can be different) to 500M. If you don't have innodb_buffer_pool_size option in your /etc/my.cnf, add innodb_buffer_pool_size=500M in [mysqld] section.

I hope it helps you!

If the issue is in Amazon Linux OS, please check whether you have free swap. I faced the same issue, when I add more swap, mysql service start working. You can see more from here http://www.linuxblackmagic.com/2018/04/mysql-daemon-failed-to-start-in-amazon.html

This will surely work for you. Shivin Vijai

I had this problem, similar to @Michael Zelensky, when I tried to make use of an Amazon t3.nano machine. (FWIW t3.micro needed no extra adjustments on my end, but I was trying to see "how low could I go" )

I was able to find a workaround that seems to be working for now. Simply add: table_definition_cache=400 .. to the [mysqld] section in /etc/my.cnf . This apparently lowered some of the memory usage enough to allow me to then perform a service mysqld start and the service came up (along with my Wordpress websites :) )

Thanks to some AWS support specialists and also this website for helping me figure this out: http://www.tocker.ca/2014/03/10/configuring-mysql-to-use-minimal-memory.html

I also faced the same issue when setting up an instance on Lightsail with the lowest cost instance (512MB, 1 vCPU, 20 GB SSD).

I was able to solve the issue by adding a swap file in the instance.

Here is the step to create a swap:

Use the dd command to create a swap file on the root file system, where "bs" is the block size and "count" is the number of blocks. In this example the swap file is 1 GB:

$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1000

Update the read and write permissions for the swap file:

$ chmod 600 /swapfile

Set up a Linux swap area:

$ mkswap /swapfile

Make the swap file available for immediate use by adding the swap file to swap space:

$ swapon /swapfile

Verify that the procedure was successful:

$ swapon -s

Enable the swap file at boot time by editing the /etc/fstab file:

$ vi /etc/fstab
$ /swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
