uninstallation Mysql

    So we decide to remove the mysql server and reinstall again, below are the step that we were done.

    sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql*

    sudo apt-get purge mysql*

    sudo apt-get autoremove

    sudo apt-get autoclean

    sudo apt-get remove dbconfig-mysql

    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

    sudo apt-get install mysql-server

if still not working for you, please check any mysql process running on your server, it can be view by using top command and service mysql stop, otherwise try step3 before going through step 1 and 2.
