Troubleshoot MySQL Service Not Running

If MySQL server is not running, attempt to start it and identify any errors.

Expected output: MySQL service running status confirmed or error details identified.

Hint: Use service management commands and check MySQL error logs.

You can verify MySQL server status on Linux by running 'sudo systemctl status mysql' or 'sudo service mysql status' to check if the service is active.

The command 'mysql --version' displays the installed MySQL client version.

You should add the MySQL bin directory to your system PATH environment variable to make the 'mysql' command available globally.
