Question

I am trying to install Mysql 5.1 on cent OS. I researched a lot but could not find any link which gives step by step procedure. Everywhere, there are vague answers. Can someone please give me steps to be followed to install Mysql 5.1 ?

Was it helpful?

Solution

While I would normally not recommend this

To download and install MySQL 5.1.34, run these commands at your Linux prompt AS IS...

MYSQL_VERSION=5.1
MYSQL_VERSION_RELNUM=34
MYSQL_VERSION_RELEASE=${MYSQL_VERSION}.${MYSQL_VERSION_RELNUM}
REDHAT_RELEASE=5
BINARY_VERSION=x86_64
PERL_LOCATION=ftp://ftp.de.netclusive.de/pub/parallels/Plesk/Expand/2.3.1/packages
PERL_FILE=perl-DBI-1.53-2.fc7.x86_64.rpm
PERL_URL=${PERL_LOCATION}/${PERL_FILE}
MYSQL_MIRROR_INDEX=0
MYSQL_SHARE2_LIB=MySQL-shared-compat-${MYSQL_VERSION_RELEASE}-${MYSQL_MIRROR_INDEX}.rhel${REDHAT_RELEASE}.${BINARY_VERSION}.rpm

MYSQL_SHARED_URL="http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/mysql-${MYSQL_VERSION}/${MYSQL_SHARED_LIB}"
MYSQL_DEVEL__URL="http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/mysql-${MYSQL_VERSION}/${MYSQL_DEVEL__LIB}"
MYSQL_CLIENT_URL="http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/mysql-${MYSQL_VERSION}/${MYSQL_CLIENT_LIB}"
MYSQL_SERVER_URL="http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/mysql-${MYSQL_VERSION}/${MYSQL_SERVER_LIB}"
cd
rm -rf MySQLInstall
mkdir  MySQLInstall
cd     MySQLInstall
wget ${PERL_URL}
wget ${MYSQL_SHARE2_URL}
wget ${MYSQL_SHARED_URL}
wget ${MYSQL_DEVEL__URL}
wget ${MYSQL_CLIENT_URL}
wget ${MYSQL_SERVER_URL}
pwd
ls -l
rpm -Uvh --force ${PERL_FILE}
rpm -Uvh --force ${MYSQL_SHARE2_LIB}
rpm -Uvh --force ${MYSQL_SHARED_LIB}
rpm -Uvh --force ${MYSQL_DEVEL__LIB}
rpm -Uvh --force ${MYSQL_CLIENT_LIB}
rpm -Uvh --force ${MYSQL_SERVER_LIB}

To go get the Latest Version of MySQL, run these AS IS...

PERL_FILE=perl-DBI-1.53-2.fc7.x86_64.rpm
PERL_URL=${PERL_LOCATION}/${PERL_FILE}
cd
rm -rf MySQL5.5_Install
mkdir MySQL5.5_Install
cd MySQL5.5_Install
wget ${PERL_URL}
wget ${DEVEL__RPM}
wget ${SHARD2_RPM}
wget ${SHARED_RPM}
wget ${CLIENT_RPM}
wget ${SERVER_RPM}
ls -l
for RPM in `ls -lSr *.rpm | awk '{print $9}'` ; do rpm -Uvh --force ${RPM} ; done

CAVEAT

When running the download for MySQL 5.1.34, if the RPMs for the MySQL Binaries do not get retrieved, change this line 

MYSQL_MIRROR_INDEX=0

to 

MYSQL_MIRROR_INDEX=1

One value or the other will work.

Keep in mind that the MySQL Binaries are three years old

OTHER TIPS

wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.1/MySQL-server-community-5.1.73-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.1/MySQL-client-community-5.1.73-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh MySQL-client-community-5.1.73-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh MySQL-server-community-5.1.73-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
sudo service mysql start
mysql_secure_installation

For other versions just go to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html and download the client and server.

Step 1 login as root to your vps

Step 2 Install Remi repository

rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm The result will something like.. Retrieving http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm warning: /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.cVJJxn: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 00f97f56 Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:remi-release ########################################### [100%]

Step 3 Check availability of MySQL versions

yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-test list mysql mysql-server

the last lines of the output should be something like this.

Available Packages mysql.i386 5.5.14-1.el5.remi remi mysql-server.i386 5.5.14-1.el5.remi remi [root@one ~]#

Step 4 Update or Install MySQL

yum --enablerepo=remi,remi-test install mysql mysql-server

Step 5 Restart MySQL

service mysqld start

Step 6 Upgrade MySQL Databases

mysql_upgrade -u root -p
