[Koha] After Koha update and auto_increment_fix database won't start

[Isabel Pineda]

Hi Jonathan.

This is the error message in the syslog:
mysqld[20008]: error: Found option without preceding group in config file: /etc/mysql/my.cnf at line: 24
mysqld[20008]: Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted
mysqld[20016]: error: Found option without preceding group in config file: /etc/mysql/my.cnf at line: 24
mysqld[20016]: Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted
systemd[1]: mariadb.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
systemd[1]: mariadb.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
systemd[1]: Failed to start MariaDB 10.3.35 database server.

I followed the instructions in https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/DBMS_auto_increment_fix#Current_Solution
Probably I did something wrong when I added the line
     init-file=/var/lib/mysql/init-file_koha_fix.sql
at /etc/mysql/my.cnf. The instruction says to find the [mysqld] section in the file, but in my my.cnf file there is only one line that says:
!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d

For the moment I commented the new line and restarted the database, so everything is working again, but I still have the warning about the auto_increment.

Thank you
Isabel

Hi Isabel,

Search for a more precise error in the mysql/mariadb log files. Maybe you have an error in the path?
Double check the path you entered in /etc/mysql/my.cnf and the path of the file you created.

Regards,
Jonathan
