CentOS6系列安装MySQL5.7

CentOS6系列，自带的repo库中，默认安装的依然是MySQL5.1版本，过于老旧，而5.6+版本相比5.1版本在各个方面均有全名的提升，对性能要求较高的应用优先考虑5.6+版本。本篇文章介绍使用MySQL官方源安装MySQL5.7

shell> cd /usr/local/src
shell> wget http://repo.mysql.com//mysql57-community-release-el6-7.noarch.rpm
shell> rpm -ivh mysql57-community-release-el6-7.noarch.rpm
shell> yum install mysql-server  #这里会默认安装mysql-community-server和对应版本的mysql-community-client

如果已经安装有5.1的老版本，可以先将其卸载，再执行上面的安装步骤

shell> yum remove mysql
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Is this ok [y/N]:
#卸载老版本的MySQL，默认会同时卸载掉对应的client端

#执行上面的安装部分...

#启动数据库可能会出现下面的错误
shell> service mysqld restart
Stopping mysqld:                                           [  OK  ]
MySQL Daemon failed to start.
Starting mysqld:                                           [FAILED]

shell> mysql

#查看日志出现如下报错
#[ERROR] Fatal error: mysql.user table is damaged. Please run mysql_upgrade.

#解决方法是重新初始化数据库
shell> rm -fr /var/lib/mysql
shell> mysqld --initialize --user=mysql
shell> service mysqld restart

假如老版本的5.1由于某些原因，不能卸载或不允许卸载，那么安装5.7时，可以使用编译安装的方式，将新数据库启动的端口由3306改成3307，即可实现两个MySQL版本的数据库进程共存
