like said, i followed one of the youtube videos to create the server. it ran fine for about 3 days until the dedicated box had to restart. now the server wont launch, because mysql (the service) wont launch. mariadb cant access anything i have no idea where to start since im not mysql savvy.
this is extremely annoying since its the 2nd time this happened, the first time we reinstalled everything but lost our world files in the process (all that work gone) and if i have to reinstall everytime i restart the dedicated box im going to loose my shit.
any help, any insight? i cant be the only one with this issue? i've searched but cant find anything and almost all install videos are from 2014...
