There are several possible reasons for the failure of MySQL service to start:

  1. The configuration file error refers to incorrect parameter settings in the MySQL configuration file (my.cnf or my.ini), such as the port number, log file path, etc.
  2. The port is already in use: MySQL normally uses port 3306, so if this port is being used by another program, the MySQL service will fail to start.
  3. Data file corrupted: MySQL’s data files (commonly with extensions .ibd or .frm) are damaged or missing, leading to the inability to start the service.
  4. Insufficient memory: The system does not have enough memory, causing MySQL to fail to start. This can be resolved by increasing virtual memory or freeing up some memory.
  5. Permission issue: The account used by MySQL service does not have enough permissions to start the service, such as being unable to read or write data files.
  6. Missing Dependencies: Some components or library files that MySQL relies on are missing or damaged, causing the service to fail to start.
  7. Error in log file: The error log file for MySQL is misconfigured or the path does not exist, unable to write error logs.
  8. Insufficient disk space: The disk space where MySQL’s data directory is located is not enough to write data files, resulting in startup failure.

These are common reasons why MySQL services fail to start, and the specific reasons may vary depending on the system environment and configuration. When troubleshooting the issue, you can investigate and fix based on the error messages in the error logs or command line output.
