Question
How do I repair MySQL setup - installed incompatible MySQL client
I am trying to port a Django application to Ubuntu/Apache. In doing so I ran into trouble installing the MySQL client: pip install mysqlclient. I tried installing an older version
`pip install mysqlclient==2.1.0
but that seemed to ruin my webmin config. Now I have:
mysql: Can’t read dir of ‘/etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/’ (OS errno 2 - No such file or directory) mysql: [ERROR] Stopped processing the ‘includedir’ directive in file /etc/mysql/my.cnf at line 31. mysql: [ERROR] Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted!
I feel like I’m in a mess and I’m not sure how to get out of it now.

Heya @coolmike,
I don’t think you would need to install the mysql client with Pip to be honest. You should be able to achieve this with just using
yumoraptdepending on what distro you choose.
