Installation d’un serveur mysql avec yum sous Centos

I’ve successfully installed mysql using yum on fedora core 6 and started it like so

yum install mysql
yum install mysql-server
yum install mysql-devel
chgrp -R mysql /var/lib/mysql
chmod -R 770 /var/lib/mysql

After, start mysql =>

chkconfig mysqld on
/etc/init.d/mysqld restart

Put a password for root account :

/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password ‘new-password’
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h hostname password ‘new-password’

That’s all 🙂
