CentOS7 Installing and Debugging Mysql Database Detailed Explanation [Example]

This example requires downloading and installing the debug Mysql database.

Step 1: Download all the software required for Mysql database installation.

I have downloaded the database software in advance and downloaded it directly from the server, as follows:

Download directly via scp:

[root@agt20 ~]# scp root@192.168.122.10:/root/mysql* /root/

The software is shown below:

[root@agt20 ~]# ls mysql-*
mysql-5.7.17.tar
mysql-community-client-5.7.17-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-common-5.7.17-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-devel-5.7.17-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-embedded-5.7.17-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-embedded-compat-5.7.17-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-embedded-devel-5.7.17-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-libs-5.7.17-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-libs-compat-5.7.17-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-minimal-debuginfo-5.7.17-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-server-5.7.17-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
mysql-community-test-5.7.17-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

Step 2: Install through yum, start the server and view

[root@agt20 ~]# yum -y install mysql-*.rpm
[root@agt20 ~]# systemctl restart mysqld
[root@agt20 ~]# systemctl enable mysqld
[root@agt20 ~]# systemctl status mysqld.service 
\u25cf mysqld.service - MySQL Server

[root@agt20 ~]#

Step 3: Connect the MySQL server and change the password;

1) View the initial password

[root@agt20 ~]# grep -i 'password' /var/log/mysqld.log 
2019-10-15T03:28:55.200931Z 1 [Note] A temporary password is generated for root@localhost: r3qhDysMrM)

2) Connect to the mysql service using the initial password

[root@agt20 ~]# mysql -uroot -p'r3qhDysMrM)'

3) Reset the database administrator roo native logon password

mysql> alter user root@localhost identified by 'Pwd@123...';

mysql> set global validate_password_length=6;

mysql> alter user root@localhost identified by 'pwd@123';

5) Log in with a modified password

[root@agt20 ~]# mysql -uroot -ppwd@123
