\/etc\/my.cnf<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
skip-innodb
\nTry to restart MySQL and if it don’t start then use:<\/p>\n
\n
killall -9 mysqld<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Assign appropriate permissions to your \/tmp<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>directory.<\/p>\n
\n
# chmod 1777 \/tmp<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
After that restart MySQL:<\/p>\n
\n
