Failed to find valid data directory.Data Dictionary initialization failed.

启动mysql时出现错误

这句话只要是出错都会报出来，所以不能根据这条语句查百度之类的

Job for mysql.server.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mysql.server.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

敲命令，可以看一下systemctl status mysql.server.service  还有journalctl -xe

错误多种多样 百度了半天也没查到个结果（网上还有说要改MAC的，都不正确）

按照如下进行操作

cat  /etc/my.cnf   看一下错误文件的位置

[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log
pid-file=/var/run/mariadb/mariadb.pid

我的路径就是/var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log

继续cat  /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log 查看真正的错误是什么

出现一下error （你出现错误的也许和我不一样，仔细看看自己报的什么错误，然后再百度或者谷歌）

我这个问题的解决方案

在 vi /etc/my.cnf  把

#datadir=/var/lib/mysql  注释掉即可

自己昨天凌晨加今天上午找了 4 5个小时的问题没想到只是一句注释的事！！！
