'Hi I have a pretty recent install of MySql on DigitalOcean.

I have tried mysqlupgrade but that doesn't work as mysql is not running.

It's not "for some reason", the errors are pretty evident of what's going on. You have permission issues, as MySQL can't read the InnoDB logfiles or create temporary files.

Either mysql is set up with the wrong username or someone has gone haywire with chmod/chown on large parts of the filesystem.
