MySQL Failed

[Tom Elliott]

@rets34 I’m not seeing anything that stands out as problemattic.

It appears mariadb started okay, though I’m unsure.

Can you also provide systemctl -l status mariadb

@rets34 said in MySQL Failed:

systemd[1]: mariadb.service: Failed with result ‘timeout’.

Please follow this information:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mariadb-10.1/+bug/1806263

The gist:

echo "/usr/sbin/mysqld { }" > /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
apparmor_parser -v -R /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
systemctl restart mariadb

Then wait a couple of seconds and do the systemctl -l status mariadb

That fixed it, however after a reboot I got ‘database connection unavailable’ again.
And back to square one with:

 Setting up and starting MySQL...............................Failed!

[Tom Elliott]

@rets34 you probably need to remove MySQL proper. apt-get remove --purge mysql-server

Followed by the commands I gave below.

I gave the gist to get you up and running right away. Why you would reboot again, when that broke this the first time, seems strange. This is a server and should not need to be restarted every time you want to update fog.

[rets34]

@Tom-Elliott I was just if I had to reboot the machine for whatever reason that I wouldn’t have to worry about it failing. But the solution you posted has worked to get it working.
Now I just need to figure out how to get all my images to show up in the WebUI, got them all on the machine but don’t have an exported CSV from prior to database dying.

You can simply re-create the image definitions in the web UI and make sure they are pointed to the existing directories. They won’t be overwritten unless you re-capture the image! It’s always good to keep a full daily database backup or at least pull a CSV dump every now and then.

@Sebastian-Roth

I went through and pointed a couple to the old location, and it’s not showing Size?

[Sebastian Roth]

@rets34 Size on client is only being updated when re-capturing the image. Don’t worry about it.

[rets34]

@Sebastian-Roth Makes sense to me.
Solved for me
