Please post some error traceback.
Also check if your mariadb service is running or not by this command
systemctl status mariadb
here is the /var/lib/msql/mysql-error.log file
it looks like database is not running.
the command to check is
systemctl status mariadb
and not sysctl status mariadb
it says systemctl command not found
try
service mariadb status
i try it say
mariadb unrecognized service
replace mariadb with mysql instead,
it should be like this
service mysql status
which OS are you using?
MariaDB is stopped
i use Ubuntu 14.04
you can follow these instructions
it says you have to run two commands
first is
mysqld --tc-heuristic-recover=ROLLBACK
then restart mysql service by running
service mysql start
try to start mysql after that by running
service mysql start
can you run the commands as root and see how it goes?
repeat both two commands
Can you show the output for
su [it will ask you for the root password]
tail -n 20 /var/log/mysql/error.log
tail -n 5 /home/frappe/frappe-bench/logs/*.log
