Solutions:

The problem you are having looks the same as this bug report. The failure to start seems to be because the default MySQL 5.6 configuration requires more memory than it can get in your micro instance.

The solution to the error appears to be to do one of the following:

Increase the amount of memory in your EC2 instance

Set a smaller value for MySQL’s max_connections variable
