@Sebastian-Roth
look at your dedications : its priceless…thanks for your response.
Now lets deal with this:
-
based on your sudo -i …work around i have revisted that snapshot and i will try it and see what happens and update you. (i only just realized no that i have been answering y to the very first installation question, this time i try N)
-
there is another snapshot which also has Database connection unavailable, and i have founf that the msql service is refusing to start up
after 1. i will revisit 2. and follw the below steps and update you.
apt-get remove --purge mysql*
apt-get remove --purge mysql
apt-get remove --purge mariadb
apt-get remove --purge mariadb*
apt-get --purge remove mariadb-server
apt-get --purge remove python-software-properties
Note: When prompted if you want to dump your current Databases, say no. But you can deconfigure the phpmyadmin database easily.
Install everything from fresh: Add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://ftp.utexas.edu/mariadb/repo/10.1/debian jessie main
deb-src http://ftp.utexas.edu/mariadb/repo/10.1/debian jessie main
Then,
apt-get install python-software-properties
apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xcbcb082a1bb943db
apt-get install software-properties-common
apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client
Once your are done you should be able to run mysql -V and see something like:
mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.1.9-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2
The reason for my effort on this method is this:
The scenerio would be:
you have a production environment already running 16.04 with 1.4.4 Fog (fog seem to be very compatible with this version of ubuntu)
you wish to upgrade your OS to 18.04 ubuntu
then upgrade your Fog to 1.5.7
You use phpmyadmin or some other method to backup your database.
it would be nice to have an update package that can be applied to 18.04 to bring fog 1.4.4 to 1.5.7 using these experiences gathered.
