MySQL 'MySQL Daemon failed to start' on Vagrant

This article was originally published on bmf-tech.com.

While repeatedly running migrations and importing SQL files with Laravel, and interrupting them recklessly, MySQL started acting up.

Solution

It was resolved by setting the log size in the MySQL configuration file.

innodb_log_file_size=5M

Thoughts

Let's avoid reckless actions!
