OS: Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit I do not have MySQL installed.

Percona is installed but does not start. Both /var/log/mysql.err and /var/log/mysql.log are blank.

root@technich:~# /etc/init.d/mysql stop

  • Stopping MySQL (Percona Server) mysqld [ OK ] root@technich:~# /etc/init.d/mysql start
  • Starting MySQL (Percona Server) database server mysqld [fail]

User mysql exists and has the correct entry in /etc/passwd

root@technich:~# ps -ef |grep mysql root 40369 26832 0 07:14 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto mysql

How do we solve this?

Hi,

EasyEngine is not yet suppport for Ubuntu 14.10 yet. The main reason behind this is Percona package is broken in Ubuntu 14.10,

Ref: https://bugs.launchpad.net/percona-server/+bug/1391103

Percona yet not fixed this issue. As soon as they fix this issue, we will release EasyEngine for Ubuntu 14.10

Hi @Michael_David

Please checkout the latest EasyEngine. In new EasyEngine maria-db has replaced percona. Let us know if facing any issues with latest EasyEngine .

I am closing this support topic for now. Feel free to create a new support topic if you have any queries further. :slight_smile:
