I can't start mariadb and or mysql a few hours ago after disable mysql.service and mariadb.service.
Then I do check status:
$ sudo systemctl status mysql.service
AND
$ sudo systemctl status mariadb.service
Result:
Active: failed (Result: exit-code)
(code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
How to resolve this:
$ sudo systemctl disable mysql.service
$ sudo systemctl disable mariadb.service
Or do opposite (make sure both mysql.service and mariadb.service are disabled)
then, do the right step:
should do first:
$ sudo systemctl enable mysql.service
then:
$ sudo systemctl enable mariadb.service
and check:
$ sudo systemctl status mysql.service
AND
$ sudo systemctl status mariadb.service
This give me result in both service:
Active: inactive (dead)
(code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Run test:
$ sudo systemctl start mysql.service
AND
$ sudo systemctl start mariadb.service
Yes, it works for me! Hope it help.
