I think I have messed up with some file from /etc/passwd or /etc/gshadow or /etc/shadow. I am out of idea what I have done wrong. but now mysql server doesn't start how I can correct it. Code: pawan@server1:~$ service mysql start start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.67" (uid=1000 pid=13266 comm="start mysql ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init") Thanks.
Ok resolved with this command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5 It again asked for password which I did and everything seems to be ok now
