Comment 3 for bug 1674665

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

Per the log it appears that something is already running on the port that
was specified for mysql. Please check that it is not already running, that
another application is not using the port. Otherwise seek help for the
problem at the community support link below.

Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem,
rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I am marking this bug as 'Incomplete'.

However, if you believe that this is really a bug in Ubuntu, then we would
be grateful if you would provide a more complete description of the problem
with steps to reproduce, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu
rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug
status back to "New".
