Re: unable to start mysqld.service but command line works

[James Preston]

Thanks, I already knew that. Tmp is writable by everyone. Data is normally saved at /usr/local/MySQL/data. But even setting permissions to 777 it can't Write to directory. I had to set data directory to /tmp to actually generate an error file. Yet starting from cmdlime works writing to /usr/local/MySQL/data. This is what is so confusing. It should be using same my.cnf file, yet produces different results. I am out of ideas. I have chosen to not make further changes on my own while requesting help.
