===================
I already tried removing the lock file (rm /var/lock/subsys/mysql and restarting the service)
thx
Solved! See The Solution
This mostly happens when you install mysql and then install WFA. Please check if the standard Linux image has maria db or mysql.
If this is the case I would recommend to remove WFA , remove all mysql, maria db including deleting the data folder (otherwithe create database will fail on re-install) and start over. Follow the flow of the installer which will take care of mysql too.
Check the MySQL log file why the database server is not running.
