Bug 1676605 referred to this from comment 18: > I found some other issues too when I tried reinstalling from scratch - /etc/mysql/my.cnf has the line "!includedir /etc/mysql/conf.d/", but /etc/mysql/conf.d no longer exists if you have purged mysql before reinstalling, so the server won't start up and configuration therefore fails. I had to comment the line out manually to get it to work.
I wondered if there was a bug here, but I couldn't figure out how to reproduce this. Purging mysql-common does drop /etc/mysql/conf.d/, but reinstalling it brings it back. If you can figure out how to reproduce it, please file a separate bug for that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1571865 Title: mysql fails to start after upgrade if previous defaults were customised To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1571865/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
