修改mysql字符编码出现Job failed to start解决办法

从网上找到如下资料： 
$sudo gedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf 
[client]下添加： 
default-character-set=utf8 

[mysqld]下添加： 
default-character-set=utf8 
        然后保存退出 

$ /etc/init.d/mysql restart 

        结果出现了: 
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an 
Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) and then start(8) utilities, 
e.g. stop mysql ; start mysql. The restart(8) utility is also available. 
start: Job failed to start 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
可能是版本的问题，查5.5以后的版本对字符编码方式修改的办法，发现[mysqld]修改方法变了： 
[mysqld]下添加的应该为： 
character-set-server=utf8 
collation-server=utf8_general_ci 

 

记住文档中已经存在的设置要注释掉
保存退出 

$ /etc/init.d/mysql restart 

成功 
进入MySQL控制台： 
    show variables like 'character%';
