Answer 1

I meet save issue. The reason is you have a MySQL-server installed on your native OS Win10. How to fix it:

1. Go to Windows service, stop the MySQL service.

2. Modify my.ini under MySQL server folder, mine is C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5

   [mysqld]
   \# The TCP/IP Port the MySQL Server will listen on
   port=3306 -> 3308 or other
   

3. Restart your wsl instance.

4. Reinstall the MySQL-server with root account

   apt install mysql-server
   service mysql start
   mysql_secure_installation
