http://serverfault.com – I really did it this time.. I deleted a database named MySQL in my server. Shortly after MySQL went haywire and now I cannot login as a user to mysql, I cannot re-install mysql, I get an error for every solution I try. So I decided hell with it I'll remove mysql, php and start again. I used rpm -qa | grep mysql but it returned nothing. Even though I installed mysql-server, mysql-client, and mysql-devel as rpm's.

Title says it all. I previously had mysql version 5.1 on my CENTOS 6 x86_64 OS. I attempted to remove mysql 5.1 and replace it with an install of mysql 5.6.

Here is my uninstall process for mysql 5.1:

yum remove mysql yum remove mysql-devel yum remove mysql-client

rpm -qa | grep -i mysql rpm -e mysql --nodeps

Here is my install process for mysql 5.6:

I got three rpm's for mysql 5.6.

I think yum is having problems installing MySQL 5.1 because there is already a pre-existing MySQL 5.5 installation.

I wanted to cleanly remove MySQL 5.5 (I had problems with 5.5 with PHP and Python).

So I'm running crunchbang linux and installed mysql-server using the following terminal command:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

Setup runs without problems, but when trying to access mysql I get "Error 1045 Access denied". The tutorial I used stated that during setup of mysql-server I'd be asked to set a password, but this step never happened.

I need to update RHEL 5.8 from MySQL 5.1 to the new MySQL 5.5. I have installed the REMI rpm, but I get a long list of package conflicts when trying to upgrade MySQL that way.

I think I need to remove MySQL completely, and then do a fresh install of the new version.

If I run

yum remove mysql-server

Will that remove my databases and the /etc/my.cnf configuration file?
