Communications link failure - Installation

[gurjmatharu]

Simply downloaded and ran the docker image to receive the following:

Caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure

The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.

[aws910]

I'm also getting this error, no matter where/how I invoke things. Something seems broken.

Same here! - "CommunicationsException: Communications link failure"

Same here.

The docker build also failed (As mentioned in #47) with

Starting MySQL database server mysqld
...fail!

The fix seems to be adding chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql /var/run/mysqld before running /etc/init.d/mysql start

Made a PR #50 fixing it.

@dinuduke A better fix is found on #44. Refer PR #51
