(1)下载mysql二进制分发包到工作目录
(2)创建mysql 用户
shell> groupadd mysql
shell> useradd -g mysql mysql
(3)解压缩
shell> tar zxvf /path/to/mysql-VERSION-OS.tar.gz
(4)将工作目录链接到/usr/local/mysql
shell> cd /usr/localshell> ln -s full-path-to-mysql-VERSION-OS mysql
(5)安装数据库
shell> cd mysql
shell> scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
shell> chown -R root .
shell> chown -R mysql data
shell> chgrp -R mysql .
*此时可以手动启动数据库：
shell> bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
(6)设置mysql自动启动
将/usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server 复制到/etc/init.d/mysql
shell> cp mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysql
shell> chmod +x /etc/init.d/mysql
在ubuntu server中添加为系统服务:
sudo update-rc.d mysql defaults
如需删除服务:
sudo update-rc.d mysql remove
在RHEL4中：
shell> chkconfig --add mysql
(7)配置mysql
添加my.cnf到/etc
启动数据库更改root密码：
cd /usr/local/mysql/bin./mysql -u root -p
mysql>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO root@ localhost IDENTIFIED BY "password";
或者启动远程访问：
mysql>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO root@ "%" IDENTIFIED BY "password";
