Installing MySQL Community Server 5.

1 – Fedora 10 MySQL Clustering

Installing MySQL Community Server 5.1 – Fedora 10

Objective

To install MySQL Community Server 5.1 in Fedora 10.

Pre-requisites

1. Download MySQL Community Server 5.1 from


http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#downloads

Assumptions

1. There isn’t any version of MySQL installed on the system.

Procedure

1. Fedora 10 primarily uses the Red Hat package manager and the RPMs available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 should be compatible with Fedora 10.
2. There are several components of MySQL available for RHEL 5 at the above URL for download.
However the most important components are –

Server
Client
Shared Libraries ( Dynamic Client Libraries)
Libraries and Header files

3. The first components are generally enough for development purpose.


4. Start the installation by installing the server rpm with the following command –

rpm –i server.rpm

5. If a huge list indicating conflicts with another package, namely mysql-libs appears, it is required
to uninstall mysql-libs before installing the latest version of mysql. Don’t worry, all the
applications dependent on mysql-libs will still work after installing the latest version of MySQL.
mysql-libs can be removed from the package manager with the following command –

rpm –e mysql-libs --nodeps

The nodeps orders the Red Hat package manager to remove the package mysql-libs even in the
presence of dependencies on it.

appropriate names should be used.
