Hello everyone, I am not able to install pretty much everything on my ubuntu server. It started from 3 days ago when I tried to install MySQL on the server.
When I was trying to install MySQL, I prompted me to enter a password, after I typed in and continue it gave me this screen below:



     ┌───────────────────────Configuring mysql-server-5.5─────────────────────────┐
│ Unable to set password for the MySQL "root" user │

│ │
│ An error occurred while setting the password for the MySQL │
│ administrative user. This may have happened because the account already │
│ has a password, or because of a communication problem with the MySQL │
│ server. │
│ │
│ You should check the account's password after the package installation. │
│ │
│ Please read the /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.5/README.Debian file for │
│ more information. │

├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ < OK > │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘


Then I clicked on "OK". I got the error:
start: Job failed to start
invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed.

dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-5.5 (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Today when I was trying to install pptpd. I got the same error... So I think the error started since MySQL server installation failed.



I tried real hard to get MySQL installed and looked through all the solutions on the internet but still can't have it installed.



I have tried everything below but the problem remains:




dpkg -S etc/mysql
aptitude purge mysql-server --purge-unused
sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mysql
sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get update



I tried this as well with no luck:



sudo apt-get purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common mysql-client-5.5 mysql-server-5.5 
sudo dpkg -i mysql-5.6.13-debian6.0-i686.deb
sudo apt-get install mysql-server


Can anyone please help me? Thanks in advance.
