MySQL:mysqlisnotrunningbutlockexists的解决方法

下面可以参考下面的方法步骤解决。

A MySQL crash on Red Hat system resulted with:

/etc/init.d/mysql status

coming back with:

mysql is not running but lock exists


Solved by removing the lock file:

rm /var/lock/subsys/mysql


If this happens again it may also be necessary to remove the pid file from /var/lib/mysql
