 <p>I had the same issue. It turned out that my new MySQL DB had an issue.</p> <p>I restored the DB with innobackupex and didn't apply the <code>--apply-log</code> parameter on the backup directory to create the correct log files for the InnoDB engine.</p> <p>Check your MySQL error log file to make sure that everything is normal. The log file's location is <code>/var/log/mysql/[hostname].err</code>.</p>
