Introduction to MySQL

MySQL is a widely used and fast SQL database server. It is a client/server implementation that consists of a server daemon and many different client programs and libraries.

Project Homepage: http://www.mysql.com/

Dependencies

Optional

• OpenSSL
• TCP Wrappers

MySQL User/Group

groupadd -g 40 mysql &&
useradd -c "MySQL Server" -d /dev/null -g mysql -s /bin/false -u 40 mysql

Configure options

You can pass --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static configure option if You don't use LDAP for groups in /etc/nsswitch.conf. According to MySQL, it brings >10% performance gain if enabled.

--with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static

Turn Secure Connections on

--with-ssl

Use "fast" mutexes

--with-fast-mutexes

Note

Keep --with-readline configure option until successful build with --without-readline will reported.

Configuring

Make sure your hostname is not a "localhost"

hostname

Install default config

install -v -m644 /usr/share/mysql/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf

Make convenience links for mysqlcheck multi-call binary

ln -sv mysqlcheck /usr/bin/mysqlanalyze &&
ln -sv mysqlcheck /usr/bin/mysqlrepair &&
ln -sv mysqlcheck /usr/bin/mysqloptimize

Secure the logfiles and runfiles

install -v -m755 -o mysql -g mysql -d /var/run/mysql &&
install -v -m750 -o mysql -g mysql -d /var/log/mysql &&
touch /var/log/mysql/mysql.{log,err} &&
chown mysql:mysql /var/log/mysql/mysql* &&
chmod 0660 /var/log/mysql/mysql*

Install MySQL databases

/usr/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql &&
chgrp -v mysql /srv/mysql{,/test,/mysql}

Start server in 'safe' mode

mysqld_safe --user=mysql 2>&1 >/dev/null &

Set password for the mysql 'root' user

mysqladmin -u root password '<new-password>'

Fill help tables

/usr/bin/mysql --user=root --password mysql < /usr/share/mysql/fill_help_tables.sql

Fill timezones

/usr/bin/mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo > /tmp/mysql_tzinfo.sql &&
/usr/bin/mysql --user=root --password mysql < /tmp/mysql_tzinfo.sql

Shutdown server

mysqladmin -p shutdown

Install the init script included in the bootscripts package:

make install-mysql
