Start the MySQL service on Linux.

There are several ways to start the MySQL service in Linux.

  1. Start the MySQL service using the service command.
  2. Initialize the mysql service.
  3. Start the MySQL service using the systemctl command (for Linux distributions that use systemd).
  4. Initiate the mysql service using systemctl command.
  5. Start the MySQL service using the script in the /etc/init.d/ directory.
  6. Start the MySQL service by running the command “sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start”.

Regardless of the method used, commands need to be executed with administrator privileges (such as using sudo). If the MySQL service has been successfully started, you will see a message indicating successful startup. If the startup fails, you can check the log files (usually located in the /var/log/mysql/ directory) for more information.
