I got the following error when checking the status of MySQL, and if i restart the MySQL also returns the same one.....
# service mysql status ERROR! MySQL is not running, but lock file (/var/lock/subsys/mysql) exists # service mysql restart ERROR! MySQL server PID file could not be found! Starting MySQL.... ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file
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.
