ubuntu修改my.cnf文件导致mysql启动不了

查询一下show variables like 'character%';
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| character_set_client | utf8 |
| character_set_connection | utf8 |
| character_set_database | latin1 |
| character_set_filesystem | binary |
| character_set_results | utf8 |
| character_set_server | latin1 |
| character_set_system | utf8 |
| character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
先需要全部修改为utf8，根据网上提示修改mysql的启动配置文件 my.cnf
网上基本步骤为：
找到[client] 添加:
default-character-set=utf8 //默认字符集为utf8

找到[mysqld] 添加:
//默认字符集为utf8
default-character-set=utf8
//设定连接mysql数据库时使用utf8编码，以让mysql数据库为utf8运行
init_connect='SET NAMES utf8'
可是我根据这样修改后启动mysql服务报错，启动不了
在网上试了多种解决办法，都没有解决，
最后找到一个方法，可以解决，如下：
其他的还跟上面一样，只有在[mysqld]下面添加的
default-character-set=utf8
改为
character-set-server = utf8
重新启动mysql，启动成功
再查看编码为：
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| character_set_client | utf8 |
| character_set_connection | utf8 |
| character_set_database | utf8 |
| character_set_filesystem | binary |
| character_set_results | utf8 |
| character_set_server | utf8 |
| character_set_system | utf8 |
| character_sets_dir | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |
