I am trying to follow the doc on how to install Wordpress on my Linode (https://www.linode.com/docs/websites/cm … -wordpress">https://www.linode.com/docs/websites/cms/how-to-install-and-configure-wordpress). Step 1 tells me to log into mysql as root. I do not know my mysql root password (the Linode was set up by someone who has since left the job). A password is demanded (tried logging in without one). I have tried several times to follow the majority advice on how to reset the mysql root password, but I cannot even successfully shut down the mysql service, possibly because mysqld_safe keeps turning the service back on?
Running Centos 7.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
