title: MySQL Job failed to start
body: <p>I'm on Kubuntu 12.04, and after installing mysql via an apt-get (mysql ver: 5.5.35), i'm trying to start mysql service, but I got this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>sudo service mysql start</p>
    
    <p>start: Job failed to start</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So I googled this problem, it says i have to go to the /var/log/mysql/error.log</p>
  
  <p>But my error.log file is empty :(</p>
  
  <p>Then I checked the permissions
  :</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>drwxr-s---  2 mysql  adm     4096 Apr  7 11:21 mysql</p>
    
    <p>-rw-r----- 1 mysql adm    0 Apr  7 11:21 error.log</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So I don't know what to do... Why this error ? Why is the error file empty ?</p>
