1. First, check whether MySQL or mysql has been installed. command:
Rpm-qa | grep MySQL
Rpm-qa | grep mysql
Because the installation is described here, if both mysql-client and mysql-server have been installed, you can directly use it without installing it. Otherwise, you can delete the related programs listed by the above commands. Use rpm-e *** (here, *** indicates the list items)-nodeps (for example, rpm-e MySQL *** -- nodeps)
2. Download two files from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.7.html:
MySQL-client-5.7.1_m11-2.linux_glibc2.5.i386.rpm
MySQL-server-5.7.1_m11-2.linux_glibc2.5.i386.rpm
(Here 32-bit i386 download, 64-bit download of x86)
3. Install MySQL
Put the above two files in the system/opt/mysql/folder.
Use rpm-ivh/opt/mysql/MySQL-server-5.7.1_m11-2.linux_glibc2.5.i386.rpm
Use rpm-ivh/opt/mysql/MySQL-client-5.7.1_m11-2.linux_glibc2.5.i386.rpm
If the installation progress appears and everything goes smoothly, the installation is generally successful. Otherwise, it may be that the installation is not complete in the first step, and re-check whether the installation is complete.
4. Several errors may occur when you enter/etc/init. d/mysql start by using the command:
1. The previous mysql process is in use. Run the command ps-e | grep mysql.
Run the command kill-9 to check the process ID)
2. If a PID error occurs, or a file like/usr/**/lock. * is prompted, run the rm command to delete the files. If the/*/. pid file appears, the parent file of the file is returned for deletion.
5. Re-Input/etc/init. d/mysql start to indicate that the startup is successful.
Input rpm-qa | grep MySQL (this is the new version). If the output server and client are used, the installation is normal.
Rpm-qa | grep mysql
6. Add the password. Command:/usr/bin/mysqladmin-u root password 'the password you want to add'
For example:/usr/bin/mysqladmin-u root password 'public123'
7. Enter mysql-u root-p next time. Then the system prompts you to enter the password
8. If you have installed mysql and set a password before, a new password will be installed again. You can do this if you forget the root password or do not know the new password. First, service mysqld stop. Then, enter mysqld_safe-skip-grant-tables &. And then mysql-u root. Select use mysql. Finally, update user set password = password ('000000') where user = 'root'; refresh: flush privileges; restart to use the new password.
