MySQL won't start
I shutdown MySQL via PuTTy using service mysql stop and now it won't restart or start. Just displays the following:
Starting MySQL... ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/var/lib/mysql/hostname.domain.pid).
How can I get it to start?

Try rename your "hostname.domain.pid" file to to something like "hostname.domain.pid_old" and then attempt to start MySQL.

Is it a whm/cpanel server? If yes, have you tried restarting it through WHM?

Glad your issue is resolved.
On one of my server, mysql wasn't restarting through command line, then i tried to restart it through WHM and it works like a charm. That's why gave you same suggestion to give it a try through WHM.☆☆ RoyalNode Web Hosting☆☆ In Business Since 2018 (3 Years)

When something like this happens, you can always review the MySQL error log which would be my first point of call. /var/lib/mysql/$hostname.err
