I'm trying to install knowage in a linux virtual machine. To install knowage I have to install mysql.
When I install mysql I get this typical error which I can't solve in any way I've found.
Errors were encountered while processing:
mysql-server-5.7
mysql-server
When I try the command service mysql -status, it tells me:
Can't connect to local mysql server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock''
That directory doesn't exist so looking on the internet, I've found solutions by modifying the file my.conf, but that file looks nothing as examples of other people.
#
# 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
#
# * IMPORTANT: Additional settings that can override those from this file!
# The files must end with '.cnf', otherwise they'll be ignored.
#
!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/
!includedir /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/
I don't know it this would solve my problem but it's giving me headache. The main problem is that I can't install knowage due to mysql installation error.
Thank you so much!
Did you tried to to migrate to another database, Knowage has the option to support different types of databases? Install Knowage-Server from release package
