MySQL Installation and Configuration

MySQL is the most popular relational database management system, developed by MySQL AB in Sweden and currently owned by Oracle Corporation.

The SQL language used by MySQL is the most commonly used standardized language for accessing databases.

Due to its small size, high speed, low total cost of ownership, and especially the characteristic of open source, MySQL is generally chosen as the website database for the development of small and medium-sized websites.


MySQL Installation

The system platform for this tutorial: CentOS release 6.6 (Final) 64-bit.

1. Install compilation tools and library files

yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ make autoconf libtool-ltdl-devel gd-devel freetype-devel libxml2-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel openssl-devel curl-devel bison patch unzip libmcrypt-devel libmhash-devel ncurses-devel sudo bzip2 flex libaio-devel

2. Install cmake compiler

cmake version: cmake-3.1.1.

1. Download address:http://www.cmake.org/files/v3.1/cmake-3.1.1.tar.gz

$ wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v3.1/cmake-3.1.1.tar.gz
mysql1

2. Extract the installation package

$ tar zxvf cmake-3.1.1.tar.gz

3. Enter the installation package directory

$ cd cmake-3.1.1

4. Compile and install

$ ./bootstrap
$ make && make install

3. Install MySQL

MySQL version: mysql-5.6.15.

1. Download address:http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.6/mysql-5.6.15.tar.gz

$ wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.6/mysql-5.6.15.tar.gz
mysql2

2. Extract the installation package

$ tar zxvf mysql-5.6.15.tar.gz

3. Enter the installation package directory

$ cd mysql-5.6.15

4. Compile and install

$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/webserver/mysql/ -DMYSQL_UNIX_ADDR=/tmp/mysql.sock -DDEFAULT_CHARSET=utf8 -DDEFAULT_COLLATION=utf8_general_ci -DWITH_EXTRA_CHARSETS=all -DWITH_MYISAM_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 -DWITH_INNOBASE_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 -DWITH_MEMORY_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 -DWITH_READLINE=1 -DWITH_INNODB_MEMCACHED=1 -DWITH_DEBUG=OFF -DWITH_ZLIB=bundled -DENABLED_LOCAL_INFILE=1 -DENABLED_PROFILING=ON -DMYSQL_MAINTAINER_MODE=OFF -DMYSQL_DATADIR=/usr/local/webserver/mysql/data -DMYSQL_TCP_PORT=3306
$ make && make install

5. Check the MySQL version:

$ /usr/local/webserver/mysql/bin/mysql --version
mysql3

At this point, MySQL installation is complete.


MySQL Configuration

1. Create the user mysql used by MySQL for running:

$ /usr/sbin/groupadd mysql
$ /usr/sbin/useradd -g mysql mysql

2. Create the storage path for binlog and the database, and grant permissions to the mysql user

$ mkdir -p /usr/local/webserver/mysql/binlog /www/data_mysql
$ chown mysql.mysql /usr/local/webserver/mysql/binlog/ /www/data_mysql/

3. Create the my.cnf configuration file

Replace /etc/my.cnf with the following content

$ cat /etc/my.cnf

[client]
port = 3306
socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
[mysqld]

4. Initialize the database

$/usr/local/webserver/mysql/scripts/mysql_install_db --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf  --user=mysql

Displays the following information:

Installing MySQL system tables...2015-01-26 20:18:51 0 [Warning] TIMESTAMP with implicit DEFAULT value is deprecated. Please use --explicit_defaults_for_timestamp server option (see documentation for more details).
OK

Filling help tables...2015-01-26 20:18:57 0 [Warning] TIMESTAMP with implicit DEFAULT value is deprecated. Please use --explicit_defaults_for_timestamp server option (see documentation for more details).
OK
...

5. Create a boot startup script

$ cd /usr/local/webserver/mysql/
$ cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld 
$ chkconfig --add mysqld 
$ chkconfig --level 35 mysqld on

6. Start the MySQL server

$ service mysqld start
mysql4

7. Connect to MySQL

$ /usr/local/webserver/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p
mysql5

Change MySQL user password

mysqladmin -u用户名 -p旧密码 password 新密码

Or enter the MySQL command line

SET PASSWORD FOR '用户名'@'主机' = PASSWORD(‘密码');

Create a new user and grant privileges:

grant all privileges on *.* to 用户名@'%' identified by '密码' with grant option;

Other commands

  • Start: service mysqld start
  • Stop: service mysqld stop
  • Restart: service mysqld restart
  • Reload configuration: service mysqld reload
