Install MariaDB in Windows subsystem Linux (WSL)

I'm trying to start MariaDB in the windows linux subsystem using

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server
sudo service mysql start

but getting the following error:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2 "No such file or directory")

I know, this is not a new question, I read a lot about other solutions under Ubuntu to fix this, but nothing worked so far. Has anybody an idea how to get it going?

Merci A

The command sudo service mariadb start worked for me.

lsb_release -a output:

Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
Release:        11
Codename:       bullseye

I'm encountered with the same problem. Fortunately I found a solution at https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/745#issuecomment-237412792

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start

which works for me. Hope it works for you too.

this post seems to be a little bit older but maybe it will help. I installed a MariaDB on Debian 10 (WSL) and ran into the same problem.

After a little bit of research i noticed that the mysql service wasn't running.

with /etc/init.d/mysql start i start / restart the service and voila everything fine.

Hint: Have to do it after each Systemrestart!

I had a similar problem starting MariaDB installed on an Ubuntu distro in WSL after already installing under the Windows host.

I found just stopping the Windows version was enough to enable the WSL Ubuntu version to run rather than having to uninstall the Windows version completely.

Do you have already installed SQL on your Windows system? Try to remove them and install MariaDB on WSL only
