Azure/Linux/Magento/MYsql

I need to get a basic install of Magento  up - so I decided to use the Azure 'Magento CE v1.9.1.0 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS'.

When I browse to the IP of the VM Magento returns error

"There has been an error processing your request
Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons.

Error log record number: 1489044056301"

When I look at error  1489044056301 in /var/www/magento/var/report$

It shows:


[b]a:4:{i:0;s:107:"SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)";i:1;s:2280:"#0 [/b]

Open in new window


Stumbled at the first hurdle. Why is it not connected to MYSQL?

The readme file says to start mysql but it alreay appears to be started.


I thought I would simply need to start the VM.

Anyone with experience with this Azure Template/VM got a quick answer?

It looks like the service isn't started.
Try to check if it's alive by:
$ps -A|grep mysql
then kill it if it is started
$sudo pkill mysql
check the daemon
$ps -A|grep mysqld
Kill the daemon
$sudo pkill mysqld

Now you can start all the stuff again by
$service mysql restart
mysql -u root -p
