windows subsystem install mysql server

Question

installing mysql-server on ubuntu 18.04 subsystem windows 10.

Cannot open /proc/net/unix: No such file or directory
Cannot stat file /proc/1/fd/5: Operation not          


        

Answer 1

I had a MySQL already running on my native Windows 10 system. It must have been trying to fight for the same defaults. I tried switching native MySQL off and then working with WSL installation and it worked somehow.
