I followed the Debian wiki for Wordpress.  I got to the part about

cat ~/wp.sql | mysql --defaults-extra-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf

And boom, error!

Error is; 1064 (42000) at line 1:

you have an error in your SQL syntax

1 CREATE DATABASE wordpress' at line 1

I am running latest version of Debian 8 with all updates applied.

Server only.  I simply copied and pasted the commands.  This is my first

time trying to run Wordpress.

Any ideas, I am not familiar with MySQL.
