[ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
can be quite wrong, as it could also be related to the binding address, not the itel port.
In my case, the database did not start in system init, because I was bound to the IP address 10.0.0.11, whose interface was not ready at startup. To solve this problem (on MariaDB / Fedora 24):
mkdir /lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service.d echo "[Unit] After=network-online.target Wants=network-online.target " > /lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service.d/waitForNetwork.conf
