Segue abaixo tudo o que tentei fazer para iniciar o mysql:
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service mysql start
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start mysql
start: Job failed to start
~# service mysql start
start: Job failed to start
Já reiniciei apache a máquina e nada.
Agradeço a ajuda.
