Run the below command to remove the lock file and restart the service. 

# rm /var/lock/subsys/mysql

If not started then it means that MySQL was not stopped properly, so check it with ps or lsof command and kill it.

Once it is done, restart the service and check. It will work fine..!!!

If you are facing this error try to run this command"# rm /var/lock/subsys/mysql" I think this will solve your error easily.
