The message after installing mysql-server on Debian:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────┤ Configuring mysql-server ├─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ Install Hints │ │ │ │ MySQL will only install if you have a NON-NUMERIC hostname that is resolvable via the /etc/hosts file. E.g. if the │ │ "hostname" command returns "myhostname" then there must be a line like "10.0.0.1 myhostname". │ │ │ │ A new mysql user "debian-sys-maint" will be created. This mysql account is used in the start/stop and cron │ │ scripts. Don't delete. │ │ │ │ Please remember to set a PASSWORD for the MySQL root user! If you use a /root/.my.cnf, always write the "user" and │ │ the "password" lines in there, never only the password! See /usr/share/doc/mysql-server/README.Debian for more │ │ information. │ │ │ │ <Ok> │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
