nginx welcome page
nginx welcome page

Okay Nginx is installed , lets install MySQL server

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

after installation restart your terminal session ( reconnect if using ssh )
then run

mysql_secure_installation 

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MySQL
      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!


In order to log into MySQL to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user.  If you've just installed MySQL, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none): [ENTER YOUR PASSWORD ] 



Change the root password? [Y/n]  [n]< <<----------------------

By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MySQL without having to have a user account created for
them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] [Y]<<<----------------------


Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] [Y] <<<----------------------

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] [Y] <<<----------------------

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] [Y] <<<----------------------
 ... Success!

Cleaning up...



All done!  If you've completed all of the above steps, your MySQL
installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MySQL!
