Ubuntu / DigitalOcean – Unable to Install MySql

I’m following the LAMP tutorial on DigitalOcean (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-22-04), but I don’t seem to be able to install MySQL on Ubuntu 22.04 . I tried deleting my droplet, making a new one, and installing MySQL before anything else, but I still get the following after running “sudo apt install mysql-server”:

mysqld will log errors to /var/log/mysql/error.log 2022-07-11T19:20:59.707275Z 0 [ERROR] [MY-011065] [Server] Unable to determine if daemon is running: Invalid argument (rc=0). 2022-07-11T19:20:59.708151Z 0 [ERROR] [MY-010946] [Server] Failed to start mysqld daemon.

Thanks in advance for any advice
