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

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


Did you consider using PostgreSQL instead of MySQL, which belongs to Oracle?

The substitute for MySQL is MariaDB :)
