Yum installing wrong MySQL version on CentOS 5 (Amazon)

http://serverfault.com – I'm having trouble with a CentOS server running on AWS. This is CentOS 5.6 i386 from RightImage, but the problem was the same on all RightScale AMIs. When issuing the following command: yum install mysql mysql-server mysql-devel the only packages proposed by yum are MySQL-devel-community and MySQL-server-community. Which would't be a problem, except this package is old/incomplete, because it does not create a "mysqld" service, only a /etc/init.d/mysql (notice the missing d). That would't be a problem, I can start the service by doing ./etc/init.d/mysql start, and it starts OK, but there is (HowTos)

recreate mysqld file centos 22 weeks 1 day ago

I have tried installing mysql several times but keep getting this error:

mysqld: unrecognized service

I've done:

yum remove mysql-server

yum remove mysql

and also

yum remove MySQL-*

then

yum install mysql-server

yum install mysql

yum install mysql-devel

and then both

/etc/init.d/mysqld start

and

service mysqld start

but keep getting that error.

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.

phpmyadmin problem 2 years 43 weeks ago

Hi all,

I have installed phpmyadmin3.3 in my server. here my php package versions.

php-mysql-5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-common-5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-ldap-5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-cli-5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-imap-5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-xmlrpc-5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-pgsql-5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-5.2.10-1.el5.centos

I'm running MySQL 5.1.52 on CentOS 4.6 and I'm trying to install mysql-devel to match my MySQL version. If I do yum install mysql-devel it wants to upgrade MySQL to 5.1.58, yet if I do yum search mysql-devel, in addition to finding 5.1.58, I get a match for: 5.1.52-jason.1 .. utterramblings ..

mysqld fails on F16 41 weeks 4 days ago

I have installed mysql and phpmyadmin via, yum. I get the message

#2002 - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).

The problem though, is with mysql itself.

Remove services from upstart 41 weeks 5 days ago

I have mysql installed (from repos) on a development machine (laptop) and I don't need the daemon running on every boot. I've copied /etc/init/mysql.conf to /etc/init/mysql.conf.old and then removed everything following the "start on" line.

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.

I have two instances of mysql running on a server. I need two different init.d scripts. The two instances have different configuration files /etc/my.cnf and /etc/my-slave.cnf. I copied the /etc/init.d/mysql files to /etc/init.d/mysql-slave and changed the conf parameter to /etc/my-slave.cnf but the mysql-slave service is still controlling the first instance of mysql.
