I have 3 fresh installations of Debian 9.9 for 3 cluster nodes.  
I have installed latest version of XtraDB Cluster ( percona-xtradb-cluster-full-57). All nodes is configured like [https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtradb-cluster/5.7/configure.html#configure](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtradb-cluster/5.7/configure.html#configure)  
In /etc/mysql/my.cnf

[mysql]  
wsrep\_provider=/usr/lib/libgalera\_smm.so  
wsrep\_cluster\_name=pxc-cluster  
wsrep\_cluster\_address=gcomm://95.216.33.23,95.216.33.22,95.216.33.21

# node 1

wsrep\_node\_name=pxc1  
wsrep\_node\_address=95.216.33.23

# node 2

# wsrep\_node\_name=pxc2

# wsrep\_node\_address=95.216.33.22

# node 3

# wsrep\_node\_name=pxc3

# wsrep\_node\_address=95.216.33.21

wsrep\_sst\_method=xtrabackup-v2  
wsrep\_sst\_auth=pxc\_usser:PASSW0RT  
pxc\_strict\_mode=ENFORCING  
binlog\_format=ROW  
default\_storage\_engine=InnoDB  
innodb\_autoinc\_lock\_mode=2

When I bootstraping first node ([https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtradb-cluster/LATEST/bootstrap.html](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtradb-cluster/LATEST/bootstrap.html)) recieve error:

root@pxc1:/home/merlin# /etc/init.d/mysql bootstrap-pxc  
[FAIL] Bootstrapping Percona XtraDB Cluster database server: mysqld . . . . . . . . . . .[…] The server quit without updating PID file (/var/lib/mysql/pxc1.pid). … failed!

In syslog I have info:

What I do wrong?

Hello Maciej. All ‘wsrep\_\*’ parameters belong under .

refers to the mysql client, not the server daemon. Move all your parameters under the correct section and try again.
