ERROR! MySQL server PID file could not be found!

Yes I have searched through out google and such and everything I have tried fails miserably.

I for the life of me can't get mysql to work.

This is the error I get

Operating System CentOS 6 32bit
Disk Space 35 GB

I can't get my site back up. I reinstalled my vps as I was running plesk and was getting issues with the way it was configured. Heard good things about DirectAdmin. Been doing this for 4 hrs why is this damn thing broke. I am no linux guy. I am a windows user. Give me clear cut instructions and I can follow it.

You have to check mysql log for understand whats the problem.

You can check with ps aux | grep mysql if mysql is running, if ist not, than remove the pid file and start it doing

rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/server.pcpartsadvice.com.pid

If is running so you should have in /var/lib/mysql/ a log file to analyze for understand where is the problem

If you are not that expert, you should consider to hire someone with more experience on linux server administrator.

Me, Zeiter, Nobaloney offer this kind of service, feel free to pm whoever you prefer for a quote.

This is the only error log I can find.

What exactly have you done?

Apparently or you have broken tables, or you did remove that...

This is a fresh install of DirectAdmin. I didn't do squat. I had issues getting DA installed but google solved those.

Now this got me running still had errors

mysql_install_db

DA shows mysql service started and running. I had to create a DB and had errors doing that found this
