Fix: Can't create/write to file '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid'

If you're facing the problem do the following:

Run the CMD to check the dir/file is exists or not:

ls -l /var/run/mysqld/

If it doesn't exist, now, follow the above step.

Run the following command lines:

mkdir /var/run/mysqld 
chown -R mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld
service mysqld restart

It should solve the issue. If happens again than,

Create a new file /etc/tmpfiles.d/mysql.conf:

# systemd tmpfile settings for mysql
# See tmpfiles.d(5) for details

d /var/run/mysqld 0755 mysql mysql -

After reboot, MySQL should start normally.
