trouble installing

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-* sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client (or maria if still having trouble). sudo apt-get install mariadb-server

  • If you have issues uninstalling/installing because MySQL process is live, you can try this first, then above: sudo kill $(pgrep mysql)

  • other trouble shooting

  •  A very simple solution which I (the linux noob) had to dig up... is to create the file.

    nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf.fallback and fill it with the default content from the mysql-common 5.7.11-0ubuntu6 package.

#
# The MySQL database server configuration file.
#
# You can copy this to one of:
# - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options,
# - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options.
# 
# One can use all long options that the program supports.
# Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with
# --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use.
#
# For explanations see
# http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/server-system-variables.html

# This will be passed to all mysql clients
# It has been reported that passwords should be enclosed with ticks/quotes
# escpecially if they contain "#" chars...
# Remember to edit /etc/mysql/debian.cnf when changing the socket location.

# Here is entries for some specific programs
# The following values assume you have at least 32M ram

!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/
