Hi,
I am trying install mysql on my freshly installed Fedora 36 workstation.
I am following this guide: How to install or uninstall "community-mysql.x86_64" on Fedora 36 ?
I have finished following all guides and now need to test mysql in terminal. I tried to check mysql -v and go this error
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
Here is the complete screenshot
I also followed other guides like this one: https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-mysql-8-on-fedora/
But nothing works for me except above guide mentioned in question.
Any kind of help would be appriciated.
Thanks

Ran both commands, This is what i get…
Failed to start mysqld.service: Unit mysqld.service not found.

Hi,
have you tried the Offical Fedora Doc: Installing MySQL/MariaDB :: Fedora Docs ?
Because MySQL is a Module in Fedora.
sudo dnf module install mysql
In the official guide (Installing MySQL/MariaDB :: Fedora Docs) it is
sudo dnf install mysql-community-server
But
You have installed
community-mysql-server
(community world place have changed)
So I want to ask its name changed or what?
Whatsoever it is but on writing
sudo dnf in community-mysql-server
it worked for me
After that i followed the steps given in the guide
Thanks for help
Hi @mansoorkhan
First, install community mysql server with
sudo dnf install community-mysql-server
then start mysqld service
sudo systemctl start mysqld.service
NOTE: Check the sudo mysql_secure_installation for security
Good luck
