I have been following the steps in these tutorials: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-ruby-on-rails-with-rvm-on-ubuntu-16-04 https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntu-16-04
I am at step 2 of the MySQL setup, where I am instructed to run sudo mysql_secure_installation. Unfortunately, I encounter the following error:
Process: 12721 ExecStartPre=/usr/share/mysql/mysql-systemd-start pre (code=exi ted, status=1/FAILURE)
This is my first time deploying a Rails application and I don’t have much idea how to interpret/solve technical problems like this. I just want to deploy my app. Can anyone help?

Can you show the last 40 lines from the MySQL error log?
tail -40 /var/log/mysql/error.log
It might be crashing because of low RAM - how much do you have in your droplet?
