MySQL Error - can't restart

[jtwhite]

Hi,

I am having a slight issue. Suddenly, MySQL went down, and I have signed into the server to attempt restarting the service however I can't seem to figure out how to restart it.

I have tried

Code:

service mysqld restart

and

Code:

/etc/init.d/mysqld restart

but it says the directory wasn't found.

I have experience with servers but I've never had a situation like this. A directory listing of /etc/init.d/ returns:

Code:

[root@cp ~]# dir /etc/init.d functions  iprdump  iprinit  iprupdate  netconsole  network  README

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I'm sure it's something super simple but any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Edit: Just to add, the server has plenty of space and the load is averaging 0.05

Edit: I just learned that it is now called mariadb

Just to help someone in the future, use

Code:

service mariadb restart
