Hi,
I had a power outage yesterday and since then mysql will not start. I was not doing any updates or anything, it was just ticking along before the outage. Now power is back, Apache server is up n running, but mysql wont start. Maybe I just need to reinstall a package, or clear a cache?
When booting the Nextcloud FreeBSD jail that houses the NC instance, the messages log states:
nextcloud root[4068]: /etc/rc: WARNING: failed to start mysql
If I ssh to the command line and try to start mysql I get this:
root@nextcloud:~ # service mysql-server start
Starting mysql.
limits: NO: No such file or directory
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server: WARNING: failed to start mysql
Although that directory does exist (are they referring to something else?):
root@nextcloud:/usr/local/etc/rc.d # ls -la
total 127

Everything was fine and dandy before the power outage. I have a dump of my databases but I guess this problem is something else, more low level.
