Upgrading Dokku caused me to lose mysql db service

Posted on February 4, 2016

I upgraded dokku from the 3 series to 4. After upgrading my mysql db service is missing. Did I lose all the data from that database, or is there some way I can access it on my system?

This question was answered by @gndo:

@kbhardwaj - First, make sure that your current mysql installation is accessible:
service mysql status   ### should display  that it is running
mysqlshow -u root -p  ### enter dbroot pw,  displays current databases if mysql is running
If the first command above failed, then you may need to check your packages
dpkg -l | grep mysql
## make sure you have a mysql-server package and note the version
dpkg --status mysql-server-YOURVERSIONHERE
