1、准备对应的安装文件
下载页面：http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
找到对应的版本及所需的文件进行下载，如果下载的为tar文件，请使用tar解压
本人在Oracle Edelivery 下载，所以为V44331-01.zip
#安装环境
[root@linux1 Mysql_src]# cat /etc/issue
Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Carthage)
Kernel
on an m
#源文件路径
[root@linux1 Mysql_src]# pwd
/Mysql_src
[root@linux1 Mysql_src]# unzip V44331-01.zip

2、MySQL默认安装路径
Directory Contents of Directory
/usr/bin Client programs and scripts
/usr/sbin The mysqld server
/var/lib/mysql Log files, databases
/usr/share/info Manual in Info format
/usr/share/man Unix manual pages
/usr/include/mysql Include (header) files
/usr/lib/mysql Libraries
/usr/share/mysql Miscellaneous support files, including error messages,
character set files, sample configuration files, SQL for database installation
/usr/share/sql-bench Benchmarks
3、安装MySQL
[root@linux1 Mysql_src]# rpm -ivh MySQL-server-advanced-5.6.17-1.rhel5.i386.rpm

A RANDOM PASSWORD HAS BEEN SET FOR THE MySQL root USER !
You will find that password in '/root/.mysql_secret'.
You must change that password on your first connect,
no other statement but 'SET PASSWORD' will be accepted.
See the manual for the semantics of the 'password expired' flag.
Also, the account for the anonymous user has been removed.
In addition, you can run:
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
# Author : Leshami
# Blog : http://www.linuxidc.com
which will also give you the option of removing the test database.
This is strongly recommended for production servers.
...........中间省略................
New default config file was created as /usr/my.cnf and
will be used by default by the server when you start it.
You may edit this file to change server settings
[root@linux1 Mysql_src]# rpm -ivh MySQL-client-advanced-5.6.17-1.rhel5.i386.rpm

4、初始化MySQL及密码
[root@linux1 Mysql_src]# service mysql start
Starting MySQL.. [ OK ]
[root@linux1 Mysql_src]# more /root/.mysql_secret
# The random password set for the root user at Tue Apr 15 17:27:05 2014 (local time): lyHfNb87EBXhJDe2
[root@linux1 Mysql_src]# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or g.
Your MySQL connection id is 2
Server version: 5.6.17-enterprise-commercial-advanced
mysql> set PASSWORD=PASSWORD('mysql');
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql |
| performance_schema |
| test |
+--------------------+
4 rows in set (0.03 sec)
5、允许远程登陆
mysql> use mysql;
Database changed
mysql> select host,user,password from user;
+-------------------+------+-------------------------------------------+
| host | user | password |
+-------------------+------+-------------------------------------------+
| localhost | root | *E74858DB86EBA20BC33D0AECAE8A8108C56B17FA |
| linux1.orasrv.com | root | *AE207AEF7D22B37183E435AAE64CECF7102A2DB2 |
| 127.0.0.1 | root | *AE207AEF7D22B37183E435AAE64CECF7102A2DB2 |
| ::1 | root | *AE207AEF7D22B37183E435AAE64CECF7102A2DB2 |
+-------------------+------+-------------------------------------------+
4 rows in set (0.02 sec)
mysql> update user set password=password('mysql') where user='root';
mysql> update user set host='%' where user='root' and host='localhost';
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> exit
6、配置开机自启动
[root@linux1 Mysql_src]# chkconfig --list mysql
mysql 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
如果没有的话使用chkconfig mysql on 设置自启动
