What are the problems encountered when installing MySQL5.6 on CentOS7?

I encountered the following error when installing mysql 5.6 (5.6.19 mysql community server) on a test server (centos linux release 7.2.1511). This is because the default database of centos 7 is no longer mysql, but mariadb. Mysql lib library during mysql installation conflicts with mariadb libraries and packages, as shown in the following details (a large number of logs are omitted)

Check whether there are mariadb related components, and then delete mariadb related components. As shown below:

[root@azrlnx06 mysql]# more /etc/redhat-release 
centos linux release 7.2.1511 (core) 
[root@azrlnx06 mysql]# rpm -qa |grep mariadb
mariadb-libs-5.5.50-1.el7_2.x86_64
[root@azrlnx06 mysql]# rpm -e mariadb-libs-5.5.50-1.el7_2.x86_64
error: failed dependencies:

libmysqlclient.so.18(libmysqlclient_18)(64bit) is needed by (installed) postfix-2:2.10.1-6.el7.x86_64
[root@azrlnx06 mysql]# rpm -e mariadb-libs-5.5.50-1.el7_2.x86_64 --nodeps

Of course, a dependency error was encountered when deleting the mariadb-libs-5.5.50-1.el7_2.x86_64 component, so the component was forcibly deleted. It is best to use yum to delete mariadb-related components. Then when reinstalling mysql, I encountered the error "error: mysql-server-advanced-5.6.20-1.rhel5.x86_64: install failed", as shown below:

[root@azrlnx06 mysql]# cd /tmp
[root@azrlnx06 tmp]# ls

I am a little confused about this error, uninstall mysql After installing the relevant components, I reinstalled mysql and found that perl related modules were missing. As shown below:

[root@azrlnx06 jirasetup]# rpm -ivh mysql-server-advanced-5.6.20-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm

Use yum to install perl perl-devel related packages (Note: When installing mysql here, no installation-related detail information is output, because the perl related modules are not installed. This is I also missed installing perl-data-dumper)

[root@azrlnx06 jirasetup]# yum install -y perl perl-devel

After installing perl related components, reinstall mysql, as shown below, the installation is successful, but no installation-related detail information is output (because perl is not installed -data-dumper), start mysql and report an error

Search I found some relevant information. It seems that the perl-data-dumper module was not installed, which caused the database initialization to fail during the installation process. Therefore, when starting the mysql service, the relevant system tables could not be found. For details, please refer to the official document mysql-server rpm does not install perl-data-dumper as a dependency

description:

mysql-server requires perl-data-dumper to function . however, perl-data-dumper is not listed by the mysql-server rpm as a dependency. so if a linux server does not have perl-data-dumper installed, the install-mysql-db will fail. and because of missing the initial database, the mysql service could not be started.

how to repeat:

on a linux server, make sure there is no perl-data-dumper installed. install mysql-server using yum. there should be error message complaining database could not be created.

suggested fix:

add perl-data-dumper as a dependency of the rpm package

Solution:

1: Install the perl-data-dumper module.

[root@azrlnx06 mysql]# yum install -y perl-data-dumper

2: Initialize the database

[root@azrlnx06 mysql]# sudo mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr/ --ldata=/var/lib/mysql/
clip_image003

[root@azrlnx06 mysql]# service mysql start
starting mysql. success! 
[root@azrlnx06 mysql]# /usr//bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'qwe!23'
warning: using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

Of course, you can also uninstall mysql and then reinstall it, and you can see the detailed information output by the installation process.
