MySQL Installation Issues on Ubuntu 20.04

[new-php]

Recently, I attempted to install MySQL on my Ubuntu 20.04 server and encountered several issues, including broken dependencies and incorrect configurations that resulted in MySQL not starting. Here’s the scenario I faced:

Dependency Conflicts: While installing MySQL using apt, I received errors related to dependency mismatches.
Service Not Starting: Post-installation, running sudo system ctl start mysql returned an error, with logs showing issues with configuration files.
Access Denied: After resolving service errors, I couldn’t access the database due to improper root user permissions.
