I should have been a bit more explicit in how to reproduce the problem, which is very easy. Simply un-comment the log_slow_queries like in the mysqld.cnf file and then "sudo service apache2 restart". That will return the error message, "Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mysql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details." For me, this is 100% reproducible using a the Xenial community image on Amazon AWS, installing nothing more than MySQL. Consequently I believe you should be able to test this locally in any environment.
