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 on Unix/Linux Using Generic Binaries

Another way to Install MySQL on Unix/Linux.

1) Download “V74396-01.zip” which contains:

V74396-01

There are two files – ASC and MD5 for “mysql-advanced-5.6.23-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64.tar.gz”.

a: Verify MD5 checksum:

$ cat mysql-advanced-5.6.23-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64.tar.gz.md5
f2ace50e757f1a63736e8dcbf5cfeb19 mysql-advanced-5.6.23-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64.tar.gz

$ md5sum mysql-advanced-5.6.23-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64.tar.gz
f2ace50e757f1a63736e8dcbf5cfeb19 mysql-advanced-5.6.23-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64.tar.gz

b) Signature Checking Using GnuPG.

To obtain a copy of our public GPG build key by copying or download from http://pgp.mit.edu/( The key is” mysql-build@oss.oracle.com”) to file mysql_pubkey.asc.

To import the build key into your personal public GPG keyring:

[root@racnote1 .gnupg]# gpg --import mysql_pubkey.asc
gpg: keyring `/root/.gnupg/secring.gpg' created
gpg: keyring `/root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg' created
gpg: /root/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: key 5072E1F5: public key "MySQL Release Engineering <mysql-build@oss.oracle.com>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
[root@racnote1 .gnupg]# ls -ltr
total 28
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5968 Mar 24 12:02 mysql_pubkey.asc
-rw-------. 1 root root 0 Mar 24 13:07 secring.gpg
-rw-------. 1 root root 4434 Mar 24 13:07 pubring.gpg~
-rw-------. 1 root root 4434 Mar 24 13:07 pubring.gpg
-rw-------. 1 root root 1200 Mar 24 13:07 trustdb.gpg

To  verify the signature for the distribution file:

[root@racnote1 Patches]# gpg --verify mysql-advanced-5.6.23-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64.tar.gz.asc
gpg: Signature made Fri 30 Jan 2015 17:49:39 AEDT using DSA key ID 5072E1F5
gpg: Good signature from "MySQL Release Engineering <mysql-build@oss.oracle.com>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: A4A9 4068 76FC BD3C 4567 70C8 8C71 8D3B 5072 E1F5

2) Remove the previous MySQL installation.

a. Stop MySQL server

$service mysqld stop

b. Remove mysql-community-server and RPM packages.

[root@racnote1 Patches]# yum remove mysql-community-server
