** Description changed: I am running Ubuntu 15.04 which recently upgraded to MySQL 5.6. Ever since then, it's been unable to start on boot because /var/run/mysqld doesn't exist. Doing a sudo service mysql start just hangs. Creating the directory and assigning mysql:root and 755 as permissions allows mysql to start, but the folder is destroyed on every reboot. + + Whenever /var/run/mysqld doesn't exist, these lines show up in /var/log/mysql/error.log: + ========================================================================== + 2015-03-24 17:43:15 1178 [Note] Server hostname (bind-address): '127.0.0.1'; port: 3306 + 2015-03-24 17:43:15 1178 [Note] - '127.0.0.1' resolves to '127.0.0.1'; + 2015-03-24 17:43:15 1178 [Note] Server socket created on IP: '127.0.0.1'. + 2015-03-24 17:43:15 1178 [ERROR] Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: No such file or directory + 2015-03-24 17:43:15 1178 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock ? + 2015-03-24 17:43:15 1178 [ERROR] Aborting + + + systemctl status mysql shows: + ========================================================================== + Mar 24 22:43:33 benxiao-ubuntu01 systemd[1]: Starting MySQL Community Server... + Mar 24 22:43:33 benxiao-ubuntu01 mysqld_safe[1030]: 150324 22:43:33 mysqld_safe Can't log to error log and syslog at the same time.
