I am trying to install MySQL 5.7 on Ubuntu 14.04.
Following are the steps I followed:
rm -rf /var/lib/mysql mkdir -p /var/lib/mysql cd wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.7.2-1_all.deb dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.7.2-1_all.deb apt-get update apt-get -y install mysql-server All the steps run perfectly except for the last one. It gives me the following error:
mysqld: Can't create/write to file '/var/lib/mysql/is_writable' (Errcode: 13 - Permission denied) 2016-05-10T02:10:24.219279Z 0 [ERROR] --initialize specified but the data directory exists and is not writable. Aborting. 2016-05-10T02:10:24.219530Z 0 [ERROR] Aborting Following is the complete log of the error:
