Issue FC25 Mysql Installation, fails to start

Steve Larson

New Pleskian
Hello,
I recently was adding DevOps on my FC25 Linux and it came to my attention that MySQL had issues(was not running), would not start.
So I removed using sudo dnf remove mysql...

Then went and performed fresh install.
I have done this several times and come up with the mysqld will not start, hence step 2) fails:
1) Fails to initialize, complains of existing Data Directories I believe I fixed that by simply renaming data to 1data
sudo /usr/sbin/mysqld --defaults-file=/opt/mysql/mysql/etc/my.cnf --initialize --user=mysql

2) Then wanted to reset the password as follows:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'My2Secure$Password'
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists!

cat /opt/mysql/mysql/etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
user=mysql
basedir=/opt/mysql/mysql
datadir=/opt/mysql/mysql/data

sudo ls -alt /opt/mysql/mysql
total 28
drwxr-x---. 5 mysql mysql 4096 Sep 16 14:21 data
drwxr-xr-x. 7 mysql mysql 4096 Sep 16 14:21 .
drwxr-xr-x. 2 mysql mysql 4096 Sep 16 12:18 etc
drwxr-xr-x. 5 mysql mysql 4096 Sep 16 12:14 1data
drwxr-xr-x. 3 mysql mysql 4096 Sep 15 22:54 ..
drwxr-xr-x. 3 mysql mysql 4096 Sep 15 22:50 share
drwxr-xr-x. 5 mysql mysql 4096 Sep 15 22:49 ORIGdata


Not certain what I am overlooking here, have removed the /opt/mysql/mysql/data directory
re-installed, same result...
