From mysql error log:

2018-11-24T05:31:14.271364Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: Unable to lock ./ibdata1 error: 11
2018-11-24T05:31:14.271454Z 0 [Note] InnoDB: Check that you do not already have another mysqld process using the same InnoDB data or log files.

[Joshua Powers (powersj)]

Based on the log messages above it looks like mysqld is already running. Can you confirm that no other mysqld processes are running? I am marking this incomplete for now and if you can come back with additional information please mark this as new.
