How to resolve the error of MySQL failing to start due to missing PID.

The MySQL startup error of not finding the pid could be caused by the following reasons:

1. The MySQL service has not been installed or configured correctly: Make sure that the MySQL service is installed and configured properly.
2. The MySQL service is being used by another process: check if there are any other MySQL processes in the system occupying the same port or file.

Solution:

1. Reinstall the MySQL service: Follow the installation document of MySQL to reinstall the MySQL service.
2. Kill the process that is occupying the MySQL process: Use the kill command or task manager to terminate the process that is occupying the MySQL process.
3. Clean up MySQL temporary files by deleting all files in the MySQL temporary folder (which is typically located in the /tmp directory) and then restarting MySQL.
4. Check the error log: Examine the MySQL error log file (usually located at /var/log/mysql/error.log or /usr/local/mysql/data/hostname.err) to understand the specific error information, and take appropriate troubleshooting steps based on the error message.

If the above methods still cannot solve the problem, it is recommended to refer to the official documentation of MySQL or seek help in the official MySQL community.
