To install MySQL, we do this:
yum install mysql mysql-devel mysql-server
Then we create the system startup links for MySQL (so that MySQL starts automatically whenever the system boots) and start the MySQL server:
chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
Now check that networking is enabled. Run
netstat -tap | grep mysql
It should show a line like this:
[root@server1 ~]# netstat -tap | grep mysql
tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 2584/mysqld
If it does not, edit /etc/my.cnf and comment out the option skip-networking:
vi /etc/my.cnf
[...] |
and restart your MySQL server:
/etc/init.d/mysqld restart
Run:
mysqladmin -u root password yourrootsqlpassword
mysqladmin -h server1.ocgold.com -u root password yourrootsqlpassword
to set a password for the user root (otherwise anybody can access your MySQL database!).
