          Seems that you've installed mysql-client and not mysql-server. Or may the MySQL server service has not been started.



          To install MySQL server, follow these steps (Or just to start mysql service, jump directly to step 3):



          1. Install the MySQL server by using the Ubuntu package manager: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install mysql-server. The installer installs MySQL and all dependencies.

          2. After the installation process is complete, run the following command to set up MySQL: /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation. The secure installer goes through the process of setting up MySQL including creating a root user password. It will prompt you for some security options, including removing remote access to the root user and setting the root password.

          3. After the installation is complete, you can start the database service by running the following command. If the service is already started, a message informs you that the service is already running: sudo service mysql start.

          4. After the installation is complete, you can start the database service by running the following command. If the service is already started, a message informs you that the service is already running: sudo service mysql start.

          5. To ensure that the database server launches after a reboot, run the following command: sudo /usr/sbin/update-rc.d mysql defaults.

          Start the MySQL Shell:



          1. At the command prompt, run the following command to launch the the mysql shell and enter it as the root user: /usr/bin/mysql -u root -p.


          2. When you’re prompted for a password, enter the one you set at install time or, if you haven’t set one, press Enter to submit no password.


          Hope this helps you. If not, visit https://support.rackspace.com/how-to/installing-mysql-server-on-ubuntu/ or comment below. Thanks!
