title: Starting MySQL on Bash on Ubuntu on WIndows
body: <p>I've installed MySQL:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>sudo apt-get install mysql-server</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I've tried to start the service:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>sudo service mysql start</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But everytime I start it I get the message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>*Starting MySQL database server mysqld         [fail]</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I've tried reinstalling MySQL, killing any related running process, but nothing I've tried this entire week has worked. </p>
  
  <p>I've also tried directly logging into mysql with the command below, </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>mysql -u root -p</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But I would get the following error message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Edits: I fixed a typo. I forgot to include "sudo" in the start command. This also did not work for me. I also added in what would happen if I tried to login to MySQL</p>
