What to do if the MySQL service automatically stops aft…
If the MySQL service starts and then stops automatically, it may be due to the following reasons:
- Configuration file error: Verify if there are any errors in the MySQL configuration file, such as incorrect parameters or syntax errors. You can find error messages by checking the log file (usually mysqld.log).
- Port conflict: Check if any other programs are using the default MySQL port (usually 3306). You can try changing the port number for MySQL.
- Database file corruption: If the database files are corrupted, it may prevent MySQL from starting properly. You can try using MySQL’s built-in tools to repair the files, such as the mysqlcheck command.
- Hardware malfunction: If the server experiences hardware issues, it may result in the MySQL service automatically shutting down after starting. It is recommended to verify if the server hardware is functioning properly.
If the methods above do not resolve the issue, you can try reinstalling the MySQL service.
