7. chkconfig
---- This is required when configuring mysql Service self-start.
---- Shell :~ $ Sudo apt-get install chkconfig
=> Install mysql:
1. decompress the source code file
---- Shell locates the directory where the source code file is located
---- Extract
Shell :~ $ Tar zxvf mysql-5.5.8.tar.gz
2. cmake operation
---- Shell located to the decompressed source code folder directory (Folder: mysql-5.5.8)

3. Compile and install
---- Shell locate the source code folder directory
---- Execution: (it took about 20 minutes to compile)
Shell :~ $ Make
Shell :~ $ Make install

4. Subsequent Configuration
---- Enter the script directory under the mysql installation directory
Shell :~ $ Cd/usr/local/mysql/scripts
---- Use the mysql_install_db script to generate a new MySQL authorization table
./Mysql_install_db -- basedir =/usr/local/mysql -- datadir =/home/system_username/Programming/mysql/mysqldata
-- User = mysql
---- Enter the support file directory under the mysql installation directory
Shell :~ $ Cd/usr/local/mysql/support-files
---- Copy the mysql configuration file
Shell :~ $ Sudo cp my-medium.cnf/etc/my. cnf

---- Copy and modify the service file
Shell :~ $ Sudo cp mysql. server mysqld
---- Modify mysqld
Basedir =/usr/local/mysql
Datadir =/home/mysql
Mv mysqld/etc/init. d/mysqld
---- Start the service
Shell :~ $ Service mysqld start
---- Close the service
Shell :~ $ Service mysqld stop
---------------------------------
Service command:
1. commands used to manage services in Linux
2. Go to the/etc/init. d directory to find the corresponding services and perform operations such as enabling and disabling them.
3. After the preceding operations, the mysqld service file corresponds to the mysql. server File.
---------------------------------
---- Add a service to a self-starting item
Shell :~ $ Sudo chkconfig -- level 3 mysqld on

---- Set the soft connection so that mysql, mysqldump, and mysqladmin commands can be directly run in shell
Shell :~ $ Sudo ln-s/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql/usr/bin
Shell :~ $ Sudo ln-s/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump/usr/bin
Shell :~ $ Sudo ln-s/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin/usr/bin

=> Mysql database Chinese garbled solution:
1. garbled Analysis
---- Access mysql from the terminal shell
Shell :~ $ Mysql
............
............
Mysql> show variables like '% character %'
---- Obtain the following database encoding information table:
+ ----------------------------------- + ------------------------------------------- +
| Variable_name | Value |
+ ------------------------------------ + ------------------------------------------- +
| Character_set_client | utf8 |
| Character_set_connection | utf8 |
| Character_set_database | latin1 |
| Character_set_filesystem | binary |
| Character_set_results | utf8 |
| Character_set_server | latin1 |
| Character_set_system | utf8 |
| Character_sets_dir |/usr/local/mysql/share/charsets/|
+ ------------------------------------ + ------------------------------------------- +
It can be seen that character_set_database and character_set_server are still the default latin1 encoding.
I don't know why, it seems that DEFAULT_CHARSET was set to utf8. View official documents
It is found that character_set_database does not support the configuration file (/etc/my. cnf) variable settings,
However, character_set_server supports setting configuration file variables.

2. Solution
---- Open the configuration file
Shell :~ $ Sudo gedit/etc/my. cnf
Then add
Character-set-server = utf8
---- Then enter mysql
Run:
Mysql> show variables like '% character %'
Result: Both character_set_database and character_set_server are changed to utf8.
---- Test:
Insert a Chinese field to the database table, and the Chinese field is displayed normally.

Note: 1. the following method can solve the problem of Chinese encoding when using version 5.1:
---- Add default-character-set = utf8 in the [mysqld] and [client] sections of the configuration file.
2. I do not know if it is the reason for manual compilation. Using the above method in the configuration file in 5.5.8 will cause the database service to fail to start.
---- The error log is as follows: (datadir/username. err is the error log file)
----------------------------------------------------
Mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file/home/cyberwym/Programming/mysql/mysqldata/cyberwym. pid ended
...........
...........
[ERROR]/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: unknown variable 'default-character-set = utf8'
[ERROR] Aborting
----------------------------------------------------
---- This will cause the pid file (datadir/username. pid) to fail to be updated.
---- Remove default-character-set = utf8 in the [mysqld] and [client] sections of the configuration file, and then the database service starts normally.
