The CENTOS6 yum default installation of MySQL is version 5.1,
If you want to install version 5.6.16, there are three ways
1.yum mode,
The advantage of this approach is that it is easy to load and unload through Yum, and the downside is that the version cannot be elaborated, such as the official version of the Yum Library, only the mysql5.6.37 version
Download the Yum Library from MySQL for installation, reference: 1190000007667534
or http://www.cnblogs.com/a3470194/p/5480911.html.
Version Library Reference official website https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-yum-repo-quick-guide/en/
A problem occurred during installation, Nokey problem, refer to Yum encountered Warning:rpmts_HdrFromFdno:Header V3 DSA Signature:nokey Workaround
After the installation is complete,
2. Install with RPM,
The advantage of this installation is that the version can be elaborated in detail, the disadvantage is the uninstall trouble point, so I use this way, detailed about the process
Refer to the CentOS6.5 system RPM package installation MySQL5.6
This installation is 5.6.21, change the version number can be
After the installation, the default configuration file in/usr/my.cnf (this directory may be different due to the system version of the difference, look at the installation log), we can copy into the/etc directory, CP/USR/MY.CNF/ETC/MY.CNF
Then execute/usr/bin/mysql_install_db to initialize MySQL
Log in the installation process to look carefully, temporary password in this file
/root/.mysql_secret
Installation is complete, start, will appear can not find mysql.sock, this problem did not study in depth, as long as the service command to start
Service MySQL Start
After entering MySQL, change the password
SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD (' xxxxx ');
After that, create a regular user and give permission
CREATE USER ' mysql ' @ '% ' identified by ' xxxxx ';
GRANT all on * * to ' mysql @ '% ';
Refer to MySQL create user and authorization method
3. Download the installation package, the SCP to the server, to install, and the second way a bit like, this applies to the version of the requirements of a more special scenario.
Benefits: Suitable for various versions of the installation; disadvantages: Installation Trouble, download trouble
