If you use the MySQL command line, you can find the available databases. 
In my case, the Koha database is named "koha_snadkasten".

# mysql -u root -pYOURPASSWORD

mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| koha_sandkasten    |
| mysql              |
| performance_schema |
+--------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

As described in 
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/DBMS_auto_increment_fix#Single_instance_setup 
of course you need to change the database name 'koha_kohadev' in the 
first line of the example to your own database name.

Also be sure the other content of the file 
"/var/lib/mysql/init-file_koha_fix.sql" is really as shown in the 
example (no additional carriage returns and/or linefeeds).

Best wishes: Michael
