Trying to start my mysql service.

```
/etc/init.d/mysql start

```

returns:

```
Job failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details.

```

Further:

```
systemctl status mysql.service

```

returns:

```
mysql.service - LSB: Start the MySQL database server
      Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/mysql)
      Active: failed since Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:20:43 -0400; 38s ago
     Process: 14148 ExecStop=/etc/init.d/mysql stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
     Process: 16457 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/mysql start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
      CGroup: name=systemd:/system/mysql.service

```

Any ideas how I can find out what's happening?
