I've recently installed MicroStack which is "OpenStack in a snap" however I've been running into a really weird issue.

Whenever MicroStack is not installed, MYSQL runs fine. However, when it isnt installed I get this error message:

"Can't connect to local server through socket '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'"

I've tried to reinstall MYSQL, MariaDB etc, however as long as MicroStack is installed it does not work.

OpenStack's Horizon Dashboard seems to depend on MYSQL as well, because while MYSQL isn't working, the WEB UI just hangs.

At one point everything was working fine, and then suddenly MYSQL broke and I can't seem to resolve it. Anyone ran into similar issues?

  • Just to clarify, you have running mysql on that system independent of openstack, so some application requires mysql. And then you install microstack and your mysql service stops working? Openstack depends on mysql as well and microstack will try to create its own service, listening to the same port. I don't know if that is a valid approach, but maybe microstack can be configured to attach to an existing mysql database, but I'm not familiar with microstack. Or you could run microstack within a virtual machine which would avoid this conflict. – eblock Feb 01 '23 at 12:12
