MySQL is a free, open-source, relational database management platform powered by Oracle Cloud. This tutorial will show you how to install MySQL 8 on Ubuntu 22.04 server.

We have in the past covered Installing Galera Cluster 4 with MySQL 8 on Ubuntu 18.04 and also Installing Galera 4 with MySQL 8 on Ubuntu 20.04, and it would seem appropriate to also cover Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish). We do have excellent documentation and we also have the ability for you to automate all of this via the GUI tool, Galera Manager.

Prerequisites

• All 3 nodes have to have Ubuntu 22.04 LTS installed. The current version at the time of this writing is Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS.
• Firewall (if setup) needs to …

This post goes through installing and configuring Ruby and Ruby on Rails for MySQL. The first step requires updating the Ubuntu OS:

sudo apt-get update

Interestingly, I found that the man-db service had inadvertently stopped. It raised the following error:

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. 

You run this command to find the problem with the dpkg utility:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

It returned:

Setting up man-db (2.10.2-1) ...
Updating database of manual pages ...
man-db.service is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it.

The following command started the man-db service:

sudo systemctl start man-db.service

Next, you install the prerequisite packages with this command:

sudo apt-get install -y git-core zlib1g-dev build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev …

Configuring Perl to work with MySQL is straight forward. While Perl is installed generally, you may need to install the libdbd-mysql-perl library.

You install it as a sudoer user with this syntax:

sudo apt install -y libdbd-mysql-perl

It’s always interesting when I build new instances. Ubuntu 22.0.4 was no different but I ran into an issue with installing Apache2 and eventually loading the mysqli module.

The Apache2 error was an issue with an unsupported module or hidden prerequisite. The MySQLi required an Apache reload after installation. Contrary to some erroneous posts the mysqli driver is supported on PHP 8.1.

Apache2 installation starts first and the mysqli module reload and verification script follows. On Ubuntu, you install Apache2 if you’re unaware of the hidden pre-requisite, otherwise install the pre-requisite first and avoid the error.

This is the command to install the apache2 module:

sudo apt-get install -y apache2

It generated the following error message:

apache2: Syntax error on line 146 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/wsgi.load: Cannot load …

Working with my students to create an Ubuntu virtual environment for Python development with the MySQL database. After completing the general provisioning covered in this older post, I’d recommend you create a python symbolic link before installing the MySQL-Python driver.

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

You install the Python development driver with the following:

sudo apt-get -y install python3-mysql.connector

Create a python_connect.py file to test your Python deployment’s ability to connect to the MySQL database:

#!/usr/bin/python

# Import the library.
import mysql.connector
from mysql.connector import errorcode
 
try:
  # Open connection.
  cnx = mysql.connector.connect(user='student', password='student',
                                host='localhost', …
