Chromebook crouton LAMP












0















I'm trying to install a LAMP stack on Ubuntu through crouton on a Chromebook (Acer c720p).



I was able to install the following packages



apache2 mysql-client mysql-server php5 libapache2-mod-php5


and the localhost folder works correctly. When I try to install phpmyadmin I get the following error:



ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'


The only way to exit from the sudo apt-get installation is to ignore the error. Then, if I go to localhost/phpmyadmin, phpmyadmin looks to work, but I cannot log in and I get



#2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.


How do I configure MySQL so that phpmyadmin is able to connect to it?

          When installed, MySQL doesn't start by default, you have to start it.



          service mysqld start


          then run the security



          sudo mysql_secure_installation
