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 can't install mysql on wsl either (mysql 5.7.30, ubuntu 18.04, win10 1909), so there is workaround here. Install and run mysql on windows, then connect it from ubuntu bash by using:

mysql -u root -p --host=127.0.0.1 --port=3306 --protocol=TCP

Also need to config Database in your porject settings. Don't use localhost, and port is 3306 on my pc, might be different from yours. Hope they can fix it on wsl2.
