Emne: [DNG] Help needed debugging MySQL install
Hi everyone,

I am having trouble installing mysql-server inside a container (lxc). I
have the same problem with a fresh Jessie install. so it doesn't seem
specific to Devuan.

Basic description of problem:
After unpacking and setting up the packages, mysql is stopped and the
root use password is to be set. However, the management database does
not exist and/or cannot be created. There are no files in
/var/lib/mysql/mysql and it is owned by root. On an successful install
(not in a container) that dir is owned by mysql.

The log files show:

Since /var/lib/mysql/mysql is empty, it seems that the entire database 
is not being created. Though some files are being created:
# ls -l /var/lib/mysql/
total 28676
-rw-r--r-- 1 root  root         0 Jul 16 22:32 debian-5.5.flag
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 18874368 Jul 16 22:32 ibdata1
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql  5242880 Jul 16 22:38 ib_logfile0
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql  5242880 Jul 16 22:32 ib_logfile1
drwx------ 2 mysql root      4096 Jul 16 22:32 mysql


The container is a "privileged" container. The frontend is interactive.
It's got the blue screen for accepting the root user's password.

The error on that screen is:
"Unable to set password for the MySQL "root" user

                                               An error occurred while 
setting the password for the MySQL administrative user. This may have 
happened because the account already has a password, or because of a 
communication problem with the MySQL server. 




You should check the account's password after the package installation."



After hitting enter, mysql fails to start.

It's obviously a communication error, because the server is not even
running according to the log. Why the database is not created is what I
am not able to understand.

Any ideas?

Kind regards,

Simon
