[patelbhavin]

Hi,

I am new to the percona. Till now i was using mysql and just today i got to know about percona. So i thought to take try of it on my demo webserver. I did follow the installation document for installing percona on centos 6.5 with yum. Installation gets completed with out any error but when i run below command
/etc/init.d/mysq i get below error.
Starting MySQL (Percona Server)… ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/var/lib/mysql/mydomain.com.pid). can i get help on this what is the issue. As i never had come across such error in mysql.

Hi,

There might be many reasons for that error. Can you please provide full error log of that server?
how you are starting server? /etc/init.d/mysql start ?
Also if server is already started then you can check it with “ps -aux | grep mysql” command.
