    You can try starting mysqld on cli like $bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql
    to see the actual issue. Without the corresponding error message it's more guessing than solving your issue :/

    Are any security mechanisms in place like AppArmor or selinux which might prevent mysqld / mysql-user to read the data?
