OVERVIEW

This wiki article holds Ted's notes on configuring, deploying, backing up and restoring MYSQL database servers and databases.



First Steps

First on a given server we may look for running instances of MYSQL daemon by issuing the process status command `ps` as follows: 

   $ ps ax | grep mysql

One or more instances of MYSQL daemon or server may be running. If we're unable to start an interactive session as the database root user, or another database user, it is best to stop all running instances of MYSQL before proceeding with password reset steps. On Ubuntu Linux systems and some similar Linux distributions a general program managing utility named `systemctl` can be called to start, to stop, to reload and perform a few other basic actions with various server oriented programs. We can stop most normal MYSQL server instances with the systemctl invocation: 

   $ sudo systemctl stop mysql

In cases where systemctl does not stop a given server program from running, the older classic Unix `kill` command can be invoked, where 'pid' is the process id of the MYSQL server to be stopped: 

   $ sudo kill [pid]

It may be necessary to add an option to force the kill-process utility to actually stop the server from running, and that option is '-9': 

   $ sudo kill -9 [pid]

Per a couple of the web references in the end section of this article, MYSQL server can be started in a way that it won't require any root password when called to start an interactive session with root user. Here are a two versions of the 'mysqld_safe' invocation: 

    $ sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

    $ sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking &

It may be that a MYSQL server instance is running, and we stop it, and then have trouble starting a new instance server manually. We may get an error message like the following: 

ted@localhost:~$ sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
[1] 43490
ted@VERIS-ALTAENGR:~$ 2018-03-06T15:52:27.361327Z mysqld_safe Logging to syslog.
2018-03-06T15:52:27.364633Z mysqld_safe Logging to '/var/log/mysql/error.log'.
2018-03-06T15:52:27.367347Z mysqld_safe Directory '/var/run/mysqld' for UNIX socket file don't exists.

When this happens, it may be that we need to create the directory /var/run/mysqld. MYSQL version 5.7.x seems to expect this directory. In Ubuntu 16.04.x LTS systems, other MYSQL directories are given user and group ownerships of mysql:adm. Probably good to apply these ownership attributes to any manually created /var/run/mysql directories.
