n this article, let us review how to install MySQL on CentOS using yum.

Instead of searching and installing mysql and related packages one-by-one, it is better to install MySQL using yum groups. If you are interested in installing the full LAMP stack, refer to our earlier article on how to install/upgrade LAMP using yum.

1. Identify the Group name of MySQL Packages


yum grouplist displays all package groups that are available in the repository. As shown below, mysql package group is called MySQL Database.
# yum grouplist | grep -i mysql MySQL Database

2. What is bundled in the MySQL Database group?


yum groupinfo displays all the packages that are bundled in a group. This displays the mandatory, default and optional packages that are available in that particular group. As shown below, MySQL Database group contains 1 mandatory package, 6 default packages, and 5 optional packages.
# yum groupinfo "MySQL Database" Group: MySQL Database Description: This package group contains packages useful for use with MySQL. Mandatory Packages: mysql Default Packages: MySQL-python libdbi-dbd-mysql mysql-connector-odbc mysql-server perl-DBD-MySQL unixODBC Optional Packages: mod_auth_mysql mysql-bench mysql-devel php-mysql qt-MySQL

3. Install the MySQL Database group using yum groupinstall


yum groupinstall will install the MySQL Database group of packages as shown below.
# yum groupinstall "MySQL Database" Resolving Dependencies Dependencies Resolved Transaction Summary ========================= Install 12 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Installed: MySQL-python.i386 0:1.2.1-1 libdbi-dbd-mysql.i386 0:0.8.1a-1.2.2

mysql.i386 0:5.0.77-4.el5_4.2 mysql-connector-odbc.i386 0:3.51.26r11271.el5 mysql-server.i386 0:5.0.77-4.el5_4.2 perl-DBD-MySQL.i386 0:3.0007-2.el5 unixODBC.i386 0:2.2.11-7.1 Dependency Installed: libdbi.i386 0:0.8.1-2.1 libdbi-drivers.i386 0:0.8.1a-1.2.2 libtool-ltdl.i386 0:1.5.22-7.el5_4 mx.i386 0:2.0.6-2.2.2 perl-DBI.i386 0:1.52-2.el5 Complete!

Note: If you are having some issues during the installation, verify the full mysql install log to see what you are missing.

4. Verify MySQL Installation


Execute rpm -qa, to confirm that the mysql related packages are installed.
# rpm -qa | grep -i mysql MySQL-python-1.2.1-1 mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_4.2 mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.26r1127-1.el5 mysql-server-5.0.77-4.el5_4.2 libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.8.1a-1.2.2 perl-DBD-MySQL-3.0007-2.el5

Check the /etc/passwd and /etc/group to make sure it has created a mysql username and group.
# grep mysql /etc/passwd mysql:x:27:27:MySQL Server:/var/lib/mysql:/bin/bash # grep mysql /etc/group mysql:x:27:

5. MySQL Post installation Execute mysql_install_db


mysql_install_db program will setup the necessary grant tables. The mysql_install_db program gets executed as part of the rpm installation. But, it doesnt hurt to execute the mysql_install_db program again to make sure the grant tables are setup properly.
# /usr/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql Installing MySQL system tables...OK Filling help tables...OK ..... The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com

6. Start MySQL Server


# service mysqld status mysqld is stopped # service mysqld start Starting MySQL: [ OK ]

7. Verify that the MySQL server is up and running.


# /usr/bin/mysqladmin version /usr/bin/mysqladmin Ver 8.41 Distrib 5.0.77, for redhat-linux-gnu on i686 Copyright (C) 2000-2006 MySQL AB

Stop and start the mysql server again to make sure they are no issues.
# service mysqld stop Stopping MySQL: # service mysqld start Starting MySQL: [ [ OK OK ] ]

8. Change the MySQL root account password


Change the MySQL root account password to something secure.
# mysql -u root Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 5 Server version: 5.0.77 Source distribution Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> select host, user from mysql.user; +-----------+------+ | host | user | +-----------+------+ | 127.0.0.1 | root | | localhost | |

| localhost | root | +-----------+------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> set password for 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('DoNotTell$AnyBody'); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> set password for 'root'@'127.0.0.1' = PASSWORD('DoNotTell$AnyBody'); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

Make sure you are able to login to MySQL using the new password as shown below.
# mysql -u root ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) # mysql -u root -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 7 Server version: 5.0.77 Source distribution Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql>
