If the datadir is empty. you have to execute a different utility mysql_install_db. This will create a correct initial database. Jesus! I HATE systemd. The sysV init script handled this correctly.
tell me *one* reason why it is the job of the init-system to check and fire up "mysql_install_db" at each start? guess what happens when that shell snippet makes a mistake and does that on a existing install
frankly my "mysql" database was installed in 2003 on a windows machine and is the root for every mysql setup from then on Windows, OSX and Linux from MySQL 3.x to MariaDB 5.x up to MariaDB 10.x
why would i want to do all the crap about set a sane default password for each and every install when tehre is a template setup?

The directory is initially empty, which I believe is normal; there shouldn't be anything in there until mysqld is started for the first time (at least that's the behaviour of 5.6.22, which works fine). After mysqld fails to start, an empty mysql directory is created. Cameron On Thu, Feb 12, 2015 at 2:35 PM, Bob Eby <eby...@gmail.com> wrote:Hi Cameron, I've seen a similar error running on windows 7. When you look in your datadir= specified in my.ini what is there exactly (hopefully not empty)? Do you have a mysql folder containing plugin.* files at this location? (say .MYI etc) It sounds like your data folders were either not copied to the correct place or not properly configured before starting the server. It's been a while, but I recall there being an "install" step to getting the correct basic database files into your datadir specified in my.ini
