What is being recorded in your
/var/log/mysql/error.logfile? The lines you shared don’t indicate any issue but any errors are likely logged there.Hi ryan,
I had no errors showing . The installation doesnt move to other step. It just stopped in the last line . I waited for a few hours and the issue doesnt resolve .
When I tried to use dpkg , it showed it was already being used , and killing and restarting dpkg and mysql resulted in error .
So I deleted the droplet and started a LEMP pack and configured it
Thanks for the comment

Hello! I’ve had the same issue.
/var/log/mysql/error.log contains the
2017-01-25T11:11:11.305184Z 2 [ERROR] 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘tHUiHdybEwSS8907#’;’ at line 1
I’ve had a single quote in the password and that was providing me with the error. Reinstalling mySQL completely and choosing another password solved the problem.
