I got mine working.

You have to also install mysql-server:
yum install mysql-server

Then restart the service:
service mysqld start

and connect.

I just write this:

apt-get purge mysql-server*

and it’s helping

I had the same issue when there was no enough disk space.

>/etc/init.d/mysql start
>mysqldump -u[usrname] -p[password] -databases -r[result-file-with-path]

worked for me as well

thanks
