The problem is a failure while starting the server. You need to find the error messages in the server error log. On my system (Debian testing) it is in /var/log/daemon.log. Find the messages logged by mysqld, and if they do not provide you the answer immediately, send them to the list. Often such problems are existing /etc/mysql/my.cnf and/or old data directory that are incompatible. If you are *sure* you do not need any existing data, you can also try to purge (remove is not enough) all mysql/mariadb related packages and try install again. This will *remove* any existing database and let you try a fresh start. Else check the error messages and probably the problem can be corrected. - Kristian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers Post to : maria-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
