Unable to start mysql on ubuntu

Question

I'm trying to mysql, but I'm receiving this error:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
 * Starting web server apache2                                                                                                                                                                               * 
ubuntu@ip-172-31-19-47:/var/www/html/anunciolocal$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
 * /etc/init.d/mysql: ERROR: The partition with /var/lib/mysql is too full!

When I checked my memory:

ubuntu@ip-172-31-19-47:~$ df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev            996M   12K  996M   1% /dev

overflow        1.0M  992K   32K  97% /tmp

How do I solve it?

Answer 1

/etc/init.d/mysql: ERROR: The partition with /var/lib/mysql is too full!

this is why you cant start mysql

please clear /dev/xvda1 the disk has no enough space

Answer 2

Try running it this way

sudo service mysql stop
sudo service mysql start
