MySQL 1053: Server shutdown in progress.

  1. Try to connect to the MySQL server using the command line:



mysql -u [your-user] -p

  1. Check the server status:



SHOW GLOBAL STATUS LIKE 'Uptime';

  1. Review the MySQL error log for any messages indicating why the server is shutting down. The location of the log file can be found by:



SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'log_error';

Then, use a command-line text viewer (like `cat`, `more`, or `less`) to view the log:

less /path/to/your/mysql/log/error.log

  1. If the server is still running, check for long-running queries that may be causing issues:



SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST;

  1. Verify available disk space, as a full disk can cause MySQL to shut down:



df -h

  1. Check the server's memory usage:



free -m

  1. If you identify any queries that are stuck or running for a long time, consider killing those processes:



KILL [process_id];

8. Ensure that there's no scheduled event or cron job that might be attempting to shut down the MySQL server.
