Failure to log on to the server using the specified MySQL client case study _ MySQL

I am used to installing MySQL in binary format. today I am eager to install an RPM Package for MySQL. I did not expect that I have encountered some problems. I will share with you the problems I encountered. first, I will download the installation package from the official website, the address is: http: downloadsmysqlcomarchivescommunity. I used to install MySQL in binary format. today, I am eager to install an RPM Package for MySQL to play, below we will share some of the problems we encountered.
First, go to the official website to download the installation package at: http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/community/?, and my testing machine is a 32-bit RHEL 5.3
I chose 5.0.96, very old version, need to download a server package and a client package, respectively: MySQL-server-community-5.0.96-1.rhel5.i386MySQL-client-community-5.0.96-1.rhel5.i386 put the two packages under the server/opt directory
1. install the MySQL server

Check again that the current configuration file is already the default configuration value (you can compare it with the path captured by the previous process ), the default data path for installing MySQL in the RPM Package is/var/lib/mysql, and bin log and error log are also stored here by default.
II. install the MySQL client
Because MySQL of 5.5.39 has been installed before, if the 5.0.96 client is not installed and the original client can be directly used, the 5.5.39 client is used to connect to the 5.0.96 server.

The connection is smooth. the red part clearly shows the version numbers of the client and server. if you run MySQL on a system without the mysql client installed, the system will prompt that the command cannot be found, my goal is to install 5.0.96 client and connect to the server

The original/usr/local/mysql/bin point to the location is/opt/mysql/mysql-5.5.39-linux2.6-i686/mysql/bin, then it is reasonable to say that the path has been canceled, when we execute the mysql client command, we should use the 5.0.96 client program to connect to the server, but this is not the case.
[Root @ bak local] # mysql-bash:/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql: No such file or directory
As you can see, when the soft link is canceled, run the mysql command again, prompting that this directory is not available, because this directory is the Directory of the soft link just now and has been unlinked, there must be no more. isn't there a/usr/bin directory? Why can't 5.0.96 bin directories be used?
I thought restarting the mysqld process could change this dilemma, but it didn't work.

At first, I understand that deleting a soft chain may take effect only after the session is exited again, but it is actually a problem with environment variables. The bin path is/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql, and then 5.0.96 is installed. the bin path points to/usr/bin/mysql, although the/usr/local/mysql soft chain has been removed before, the environment variable determines that mysql still needs to read/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql, instead of reading the latest/usr/bin/mysql, a path error is reported. after the session is exited, the environment variable path is updated, read/usr/bin/mysql
So now I want to use the 5.5.39 client program to connect to the 5.0.96 server? Is it possible to simply add a soft link and then exit the session? Let's take a look.

Is it strange? This time, I added a soft link pointing to the bin path 5.5.39 and exited the sesssion to update the environment variable. Why does mysql connect to the mysql client in the bin path 5.0.96? Let's take a look at the setting of PATH environment variables.
Mysql> exitBye [root @ bak ~] # Echo $ PATH/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin: /usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/root/bin [root @ bak ~] #
It is found that/usr/bin is located before the path/usr/local/mysql. Here we make a hypothesis that the system directly runs the mysql client 5.0.96 after reading/usr/bin, regardless of the subsequent path, even if the session is re-connected, mysql is always read in/usr/bin first. To verify it. check the two locations.

However, this is not fixed to the environment variable. after the session is exited, the PATH becomes the previous value, even if source. bash_profile is the same. let's take a look at the root user's. bash_profile file.
[Root @ bak ~] # Cat. bash_profile #. bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functionsif [-f ~ /. Bashrc]; then .~ /. Bashrcfi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH = $ PATH: $ HOME/bin
Export PATHunset USERNAME [root @ bak ~] #
The specific values of the specified PATH are not displayed, but the PATH variable is called with $. in this case, we will write the expected values, then the absolute value of the PATH can be solidified.
[Root @ bak ~] # Vi. bash_profile: Change $ PATH to/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin: /usr/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
[Root @ bak ~] # .. Bash_profile -- make the environment variable take effect in the current session
In this way, the value set for PATH will not be lost even if you exit the session. when you need a client of any version, manually adjust the PATH of PATH, put the target path in front of the system for search.
