Mysql connect error

0

The problem is solved, when you remove mysql and then reinstall it.

To remove mysql completely run the following command:

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge --auto-remove mysql-client-* mysql-common mysql-server-*
$ sudo rm -r /etc/mysql* /var/lib/mysql* /var/log/mysql*

To install it again run:

$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server
