Can't start mysqld/mysql

first I have to say I'm a mysql newbie. Basically mysql does not start and says:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock' (2)

Now Here are the steps with which I ruined everything:

Due to it was not possible to log into my system (otrs) I thought a restore of an older backup would help.

While the restore process the backup manager said I need to drop the old db. I tried it but the process did not finish and so I cancelled it.

After this I tried to reboot the system but had huge problems with this but when I finished the reboot I tried to run mysql but it said it could not find the mysql.socket.

At this point I thought it would be better to reinstall mysql and did so but this did not help. When trying to start mysqld as mysql user it said:

[ERROR] Found 1 prepared transactions! It means that mysqld was not shut down properly last time and critical recovery information (last binlog or tc.log file) was manually deleted after a crash. You have to start mysqld with --tc-heuristic-recover switch to commit or rollback pending transactions.

trying both did not help:

I have absolutely no clue what to do. Could anyone help me? How can the otrs tables been droped/deleted without using the mysql DROP command? Would this help anyway?

Thank you.

go to my.cnf file, note that you will find multiple my.cnf file, i had to look at all of them to find this->

 # The MySQL server
    [mysqld]
    user = mysql
    port=3306
    socket      = /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock

Copy the socket path and writ it like ->

mysql -u root -p --socket=/opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock

If any of the above doesn't work for you.

  1. Edit mysql config file by doing the below: sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf and add tc-heuristic-recover=rollback under [mysqld]

  2. Try to start mysql/mariadb server by sudo systemctl start mysqld.service and it should fail with this error Can't init tc log.

  3. Don't worry, just edit the config file again and comment tc-heuristic-recover=rollback

  4. Try to start the mysql server again with sudo systemctl start mysqld.service and it should work fine.

  5. Check the status to confirm systemctl status mysqld.service

You can try this command that I use Centos 7 that is work:

#mysqld_safe --wsrep-recover --tc-heuristic-recover=ROLLBACK

and then restart a service again.
