How to Start MySQL Server

Start up MySQL server .

  1. Run /etc/init.d/mysql script , which is called when system start up or shut down. It calls “mysqld_safe” when start up mysqld server.

Usage: mysql  {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload|status}  [ MySQL server options ]

# find /etc/ -name *mysql* -exec ls {} -ltr \;

2) Run /etc/init.d/mysql.server, which is same as /etc/init.d/mysql. Check and adjust the hard coded directories.

3) run “bin/mysqld_safe –user=mysql &”

#bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &"

MySQL server be run using an unprivileged (non-root) login account. To ensure this if you run mysqld_safe as root, include the –user option as shown. Otherwise, execute the program while logged in as mysql, in which case you can omit the –user option from the command.

 4) Run mysqld directly.

# /sbin/mysqld  --user=mysql &

5) Run service.

# service mysqld start|stop|status

How to Install MySQL onto Linux Using MySQL Yum Repository

Install MySQL by Using MySQL Yum Repository

1) Update libaio to date because MySQL is depended on libaio.

[root@racnode1 ~]# yum install libaio
Loaded plugins: langpacks
Repodata is over 2 weeks old. Install yum-cron? Or run: yum makecache fast

Package libaio-0.3.109-12.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

2) Go to “Download MySQL Yum Repository” to download the release package for Linux 7 “mysql-community-release-el7-5.noarch.rpm”.

3) Install the downloaded release package.

[root@racnode1 Patches]# yum localinstall mysql-community-release-el7-5.noarch.rpm

[root@racnode1 Patches]#

You can check that the MySQL Yum repository has been successfully added by the following command:

[root@racnode1 Patches]# yum repolist enabled | grep "mysql.*-community.*"
mysql-connectors-community/x86_64 MySQL Connectors Community 13
mysql-tools-community/x86_64 MySQL Tools Community 15
mysql56-community/x86_64 MySQL 5.6 Community Server 124

4) Installing MySQL with Yum.

# sudo yum install mysql-community-server
This installs the package for MySQL server (mysql-community-server) and also packages for the components required to run the server, including:

  • packages for the client (mysql-community-client)
  • the common error messages and character sets for client and server (mysql-community-common)
  • the shared client libraries (mysql-community-libs)
