Hey @noahray,

I’ve just created a Droplet from the Marketplace using the Ghost image. I was unable to experience the issues you are describing.

Anyway, the issue that you are experiencing should be resolved by giving permission to the /var/lib/mysql folder to the mysql user and group. Make sure that the MySQL server has read, write, and execute permissions on this directory. You can change the owner to the mysql user using the command chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql.
