Hi,
bedankt voor je bericht. Well, I was working with people from Amsterdam for more than 6 years but still don’t speak dutch
Therefore let’s stick to English
pls can you check following
systemctl restart mariadb.service
journalctl -u mariadb
cat /var/log/mysql/error.log
Hi Joulinar,
Damm i thought you are dutch

oke here are the results.
systemctl restart mariadb.service
Job for mariadb.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status mariadb.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Thats all.
Thnx for helping.
did you have done anything like moving to an external disk? Or similar? Can you do
df -h
lsblk -o name,label,size,ro,type,mountpoint,partuuid,uuid
Yes i have moved it.
rootfs to a ssd 120
dietpi_userdata to a hd 500
I works for month before.
Only i did a reboot and get that error.

ok let’s check if links are set correctly
readlink /var/lib/mysql
readlink -f /var/lib/mysql
oke the results are.
readlink /var/lib/mysql

root@DietPi:~#
readlink -f /var/lib/mysql
/mnt/hd500/dietpi_userdata/mysql

seems to be oke ?
yes links seems to be ok. Let’s check why you have permission issues like this

there you go. Files and folders are owned by user proftpd. There are as well folders with unknown user ID 110. Did you have done anything with FTP and/or copied data??
You can do following to change owner back to user mysql
chown -R mysql:mysql /mnt/hd500/dietpi_userdata/mysql
systemctl restart mariadb.service
systemctl status mariadb.service
Did not move/copied anything with proftpd.
This solution works for me:
You can do following to change owner back to user mysql
chown -R mysql:mysql /mnt/hd500/dietpi_userdata/mysql
systemctl restart mariadb.service
systemctl status mariadb.service
Mariadb start after a reboot
Many tnks, Your great.

Your kidding with me

Je spreek schrijf nederlands. hahaha
Tnx.
