Problems Starting The Server

• If problems occur when starting the server, here are some things to try:
  • Check the error log to see why the server does not start.
  • Specify any special options needed by the storage engines.
  • Make sure that the server knows where to find the data directory.
  • Make sure that the server can access the data directory.
    • The ownership and permissions of the data directory and its contents must be set such that the server can read and modify them.
  • Verify that the network interfaces the server wants to use are available.
