Internet Connection on VM

I was having the same problem on Ubuntu 12.10 64bit using Virtualbox 4.2.22. Here are the steps I took to solve my problem:

Open Virtualbox Manager

• Select the machine you cannot get internet on in the left pane
• Click the Settings button in the top menu
• Click Network in the left pane in the settings window
• Switched to Bridged Adapter in the Attached to drop-down menu
• Select the name of the network adapter you are currently using on your host machine. I am using wireless so I chose eth0 which is my wireless network adapter. You can check which adapter you are currently using by opening the terminal (CTRL+ALT+T by default) and running ifconfig. It will probably be the eth adapter that shows an inet addr and shows data transfer next to RX bytes.
• Under Advanced, make sure the machine is using the Desktop Adapter Type
• Under Advanced, make sure Promiscuous Mode is set to Allow VMs
• Under Advanced, make sure Cable connected is checked on
• Hit OK to save your changes
• Start your VM

mysql

The reason is that recent Ubuntu installation (maybe others also), mysql is using by default the UNIX auth_socket plugin.

Basically means that: db_users using it, will be "auth" by the system user credentias. You can see if your root user is set up like this by doing the following:

$ sudo mysql -u root # I had to use "sudo" since is new installation

mysql> USE mysql;
mysql> SELECT User, Host, plugin FROM mysql.user;

+------------------+-----------------------+
| User             | plugin                |
+------------------+-----------------------+
| root             | auth_socket           |
| mysql.sys        | mysql_native_password |
| debian-sys-maint | mysql_native_password |
+------------------+-----------------------+

As you can see in the query, the root user is using the auth_socket plugin

There are 2 ways to solve this:

• You can set the root user to use the mysql_native_password plugin
• You can create a new db_user with you system_user (recommended)

Option 1:

$ sudo mysql -u root # I had to use "sudo" since is new installation

mysql> USE mysql;
mysql> UPDATE user SET plugin='mysql_native_password' WHERE User='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit;

$ service mysql restart

Option 2: (replace YOUR_SYSTEM_USER with the username you have)

$ sudo mysql -u root # I had to use "sudo" since is new installation

mysql> USE mysql;
mysql> CREATE USER 'YOUR_SYSTEM_USER'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'YOUR_SYSTEM_USER'@'localhost';
mysql> UPDATE user SET plugin='auth_socket' WHERE User='YOUR_SYSTEM_USER';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> exit;

$ service mysql restart

Remember that if you use option #2 you'll have to connect to mysql as your system username (mysql -u YOUR_SYSTEM_USER)

Note: On some systems (e.g., Debian stretch) 'auth_socket' plugin is called 'unix_socket', so the corresponding SQL command should be: UPDATE user SET plugin='unix_socket' WHERE User='YOUR_SYSTEM_USER';

error: mysqld_safe Directory '/var/run/mysqld' for UNIX socket file don't exists.

sudo mkdir -p /var/run/mysqld
sudo chown mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld

MySql case sensitive table names issue on Windows/MacOS to Linux

/etc/mysql/my.cnf file (add the row lower_case_table_names=1)

Note:

• lower_case_table_names=0 > table names are stored as specified and comparisons are case sensitive.
• lower_case_table_names=1 > table names are stored in lowercase on disk and comparisons are not case sensitive.
• lower_case_table_names=2 > table names are stored as given but compared in lowercase.

[mysqld]
lower_case_table_names = 1

How to fix master and slave have equal MySQL server UUIDs MySQL Error

if you get error on slave database like below

# mysql -u root -p
#mysql> show slave status;

Last_IO_Error: Fatal error: The slave I/O thread stops because master and slave have equal MySQL server UUIDs; these UUIDs must be different for replication to work.

Problem : Server UUIDs is automatically generated but it was copied when I cloned mysql instance using AWS AMI

ubuntu@ip-172-31-26-201:/var/lib/mysql$ cat /var/lib/mysql/auto.cnf
[auto]
server-uuid=fea4e713-9552-11e6-a093-06a1a5e379d3

It can be simply fixed by removing that auto generated auto.conf file and restart MySQL server.

Enjoy your MySQL Master-Slave replication!!!
