How can I start MySQL Server in Linode?

Hello Folks,

I am new to Linode. I am unable to access my site. I contact support team. They told me that MySQL server didn't running. I am trying following command to start MySQL.

sudo service mysql start

and I got bellow error message.

root@www:~# sudo service mysql start
start: Job failed to start

If MySQL didn't start through command then how I start it manually? Please guide me.

Which version of linux are you running on your server?

You don't need to use sudo as the root user. As fos asked, knowing which distro would help. Also, did you check if you have disk space left?
