Hi
I am trying to set up next cloud and the beginning was fun. I used a How To Install Nextcloud Server - Internetpage 'How to install Nextcloud server on Windows 10 - H2S Media (how2shout.com) which was very useful. It was a set-up under Windows 10 pro and Linus WSL
All was ok until step 8 but when entering the command ‘sudo mysql’ the message is shown:
berti@DESKTOP-C8OEOD4:/$ sudo mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local server through socket ‘/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2)
And after testing if mysqld service is running:
berti@DESKTOP-C8OEOD4:/$ mysqladmin -u root -p status
Enter password:
mysqladmin: connect to server at ‘localhost’ failed
error: ‘Can’t connect to local server through socket ‘/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2)’
Check that mariadbd is running and that the socket: ‘/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ exists!
I checked mariadb and mysql version:
berti@DESKTOP-C8OEOD4:/$ mysql -u user -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local server through socket ‘/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2)
berti@DESKTOP-C8OEOD4:/$ dpkg -l | grep -e mysql-server -e mariadb-server
ii mariadb-server 1:10.6.7-2ubuntu1.1 all MariaDB database server (metapackage depending on the latest version)
ii mariadb-server-10.6 1:10.6.7-2ubuntu1.1 amd64 MariaDB database server binaries
ii mariadb-server-core-10.6 1:10.6.7-2ubuntu1.1 amd64 MariaDB database core server files
berti@DESKTOP-C8OEOD4:/$ mysqld --version
mysqld Ver 10.6.7-MariaDB-2ubuntu1.1 for debian-linux-gnu on x86_64 (Ubuntu 22.04)
berti@DESKTOP-C8OEOD4:/$ mysqladmin -V
mysqladmin Ver 9.1 Distrib 10.6.7-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu on x86_64
Another try was:
berti@DESKTOP-C8OEOD4:/$ sudo mysqld start
2022-11-18 23:47:46 0 [Note] mysqld (server 10.6.7-MariaDB-2ubuntu1.1) starting as process 148 …
mysqld: Please consult the Knowledge Base to find out how to run mysqld as root!
2022-11-18 23:47:46 0 [ERROR] Aborting
Neither the directory ‘mysqld nor the mysqld.sock’ exist. Have you any idea or suggestion what is wrong and what I should do now?
Thanks, Berti
