The following procedure describes how to install MySQL 5.1 with an InnoDB storage engine on an Oracle Solaris x86 host.
Create the file /etc/my.cnf
, and add the
following content.
[mysqld] user=mysql datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data basedir=/usr/local/mysql port=3306 socket=/tmp/mysql.sock max_allowed_packet=20M #transaction_isolation=READ-COMMITTED lower_case_table_names=1 max_connections=1000 skip-locking key_buffer=16K table_cache=4 sort_buffer_size=64K net_buffer_length=2K thread_stack=64K wait_timeout=31536000 innodb_data_home_dir=/usr/local/mysql/data innodb_data_file_path=ibdata1:10M:autoextend innodb_log_group_home_dir=/usr/local/mysql/data innodb_buffer_pool_size=50M innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=10M innodb_log_file_size=5M innodb_log_buffer_size=10M innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1 innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50
Create a user "mysql" and a group "mysql" by running the following commands.
# groupadd mysql # useradd -g mysql mysql
Get the MySQL tar file, untar it, and keep it in the
/
directory.
Create the directory /usr/local
, by
running the following command.
# mkdir /usr/local
Change to the new directory, and create a symbolic link, called "mysql", that points to the MySQL files in the directory, by running the following commands.
# cd /usr/local # ln -s /mysql-5.1.30-solaris10-i386 mysql # ls -lrt total 2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Nov 12 17:33 mysql -> /export/mysql-5.1.30-solaris10-i386 bash-3.00#
Make sure that the directory contains the proper owner and group permissions by running the following commands.
# chgrp -R mysql /mysql-5.1.30-solaris10-i386 # chown -R mysql /mysql-5.1.30-solaris10-i386
Check the permissions for the directory as well.
# cd /usr/local/mysql # ls -lrt -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 19071 Nov 15 13:07 COPYING -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 5139 Nov 15 13:07 EXCEPTIONS-CLIENT -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 8767 Nov 15 13:07 INSTALL-BINARY -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 1410 Nov 15 13:07 README drwxr-xr-x 2 mysql mysql 1536 Nov 15 13:07 bin drwxr-xr-x 4 mysql mysql 512 Nov 15 13:07 data drwxr-xr-x 2 mysql mysql 512 Nov 15 13:05 docs drwxr-xr-x 2 mysql mysql 1024 Nov 15 13:05 include drwxr-xr-x 3 mysql mysql 1024 Nov 15 13:06 lib drwxr-xr-x 4 mysql mysql 512 Nov 15 13:06 man drwxr-xr-x 10 mysql mysql 512 Nov 15 13:07 mysql-test drwxr-xr-x 2 mysql mysql 512 Nov 15 13:07 scripts drwxr-xr-x 27 mysql mysql 1024 Nov 15 13:07 share drwxr-xr-x 5 mysql mysql 1024 Nov 15 13:07 sql-bench drwxr-xr-x 2 mysql mysql 512 Nov 15 13:07 support-files
From the /usr/local/mysql
directory, run
the following command, and check that it provides the
corresponding output.
# ./scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h wipro-33 password 'new-password' Alternatively you can run: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_secure_installation which will also give you the option of removing the test databases and anonymous user created by default. This is strongly recommended for production servers. See the manual for more instructions. You can start the MySQL daemon with: cd /usr/local/mysql ; /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe & You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl cd /usr/local/mysql/mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl Please report any problems with the /usr/local/mysql/scripts/mysqlbug script!

From the /usr/local/mysql
directory, run
the following command, and check to see that you get the
corresponding output.
# ./bin/mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf --ledir=/usr/local/mysql/bin --user=mysql &
[1] 15885 # 090323 22:36:26 mysqld_safe Logging to '/usr/local/mysql/data/wipro-33.err'. 090323 22:36:26 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data
Now, leave the terminal just the way it is. To make sure the process you just enabled is running all the time, go to the console and start this process.
# cd /usr/local/mysql/bin # ./mysql --user=root
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or g. Your MySQL connection id is 1 Server version: 5.1.30 MySQL Community Server (GPL) Type 'help;' or 'h' for help. Type 'c' to clear the buffer. mysql>
Stop the MySQL daemon by running the following command in a terminal, if you want to stop the daemon.
# ./mysqladmin shutdown
When the command is run, the terminal, that was left alone, should give the following output.
# /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf \ --ledir=/usr/local/mysql/bin --user=mysql & [1] 16017 # 090323 22:47:38 mysqld_safe Logging to '/usr/local/mysql/data/wipro-33.err'. 090323 22:47:38 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data 090323 22:49:31 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /usr/local/mysql/data/wipro-33.pid ended
