I have install mysql cluster on one of our linux machines, we did a pilot and decided to use replication instead. Now I want to remove it and install mysql-server.
I have removed all the old files as much as I could, now everytime I
apt-get install mysql-server
it seems to install but puts no files in /etc
I tried to purge the install and try again a few times with no luck.
Anyone have any ideas on how to completely remove mysql and start a new?
** Update **
Tried suggested purge remove
apt-get --purge remove mysql-server && apt-get clean && apt-get install mysql-server
