I am accessing a remote Ubuntu server via PuTTy and have installed MySQL server on it using
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
After that I am trying to start the MySQL server so that I can connect using MySQL Workbench. To start MySQL, I am using sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
But I get an error message Starting mysql (via systemctl): mysql.serviceJob for mysql.service failed because a fatal signal was delivered to the control process. See "systemctl status mysql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
The systemctl status mysql.service is as below
mysql.service - MySQL Community Server
