I’m also stuck at the same point after following the steps outlined. The original poster also has the MariaDB doc up in his post. Has anyone else experienced this problem or have a solution?

I just tested the first part of the lab, but couldn’t replicate the issue.

I’m not understanding what I’m doing wrong here. I’m sure this is simply a user error :sweat_smile: Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Here is a screen shot of me running through the lab MariaDB portion of the lab…

I have gone through this lab twice now and I am getting an error when restarting mariadb as well.

Please show me a screen shot like the one below which details the steps taken in the MariaDB portion of the lab.

In particular I want to see the contents of the key file as that is where many folks miss an important step. Also note that the steps are in a file on the desktop and they have been maximally QA-ed and are known to work without error.

Hi Joseph,
I followed the detailed steps in the text file provided on the desktop of the Ubuntu server step by step.

I need to see all your steps, like I show you.

I won’t be able to show you those steps like that as I have done other commands to try to troubleshoot the error and have rerun some commands multiple times, etc.

14

It’s the only way we’ll be able to assist :slight_smile:

Posting a screenshot the commands that you did run would still be helpful - even if there are duplicates etc. Alternatively, I would recommend resetting the lab and starting over.

My history is being truncated so that I am unable to provide what I have run. You need to take my word for it that I have done each step on this lab (twice now) on two separate days. Everything works as expected up until the point that mariadb is restarted. The screenshots that I have provided should be enough for troubleshooting purposes.

Thankfully I was able to answer all the task questions without having to complete the lab steps, so I guess you can disregard my request now, but I do think there is something wrong with this lab.

For me, it’s about learning, so if you want to screen share at some point and work though the steps together I am happy to do that.
