HI!
Classic problem with Ubuntus.
You have mysql sql server installed. You should install MariaDB instead. That will override Mysql installation.
Install MariaDB server, client and common. You find related messages with Google using search words:
cqrlog.com mariadb install

Hi Saku,
I installed mariadb as you suggested and all works like a charm now!
Thank you so much!
