title: service mysql start failed on ubuntu
body: <p>Here is my dilemma (somehow similar to <a href="https://serverfault.com/questions/165537/how-to-restore-my-mysql-5-1-on-ubuntu-10-4">this resource</a> and I tried everything, but nothing helped):</p>
  
  <pre><code>root@vuxomys01:~# service mysql status
  mysql start/running
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I'm looking for the process:</p>
  
  <pre><code>root@vuxomys01:~# ps ax | grep mysql
  2263 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto mysql
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I checked the logs and <code>/var/log/mysql/error.log</code> is empty, but there is weird stuff in <code>/var/log/syslog</code> ...</p>
  
  <pre><code>root@vuxomys01:~# grep mysql /var/log/syslog
  ...
