Tested in Breezy. Mysql5.0 is already in Dapper. It is in main. It is installed when you install the default LAMP stack in Dapper. == Prerequisites == === You must download MYSQL5 (of course ;) === {{{ wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.0/mysql-5.0.16.tar.gz/from/http://mysql.localhost.net.ar/ tar xzvf mysql-5.0.16.tar.gz cd mysql-5.0.16/ }}} === You must install packages : === {{{ sudo apt-get install build-essential }}} === You need development libraries === ... but I'm not sure about which ones. {{{ sudo apt-get install libncurses5 libncurses5-dev }}} ...or you won't be able to compile on a server install === You need to create the user and group === {{{ sudo groupadd mysql sudo useradd -g mysql mysql }}} == Compilation optimisation == You can speed up Mysql with processor optimisation If you have a different processor, change the CHOST, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS. If you don't know what it is, Take the Generic one! {{attachment:IconsPage/warning.png}} The configuration for specific processors were not tested. If it compiles you're fine. If it doesn't try the generic one. Use only one of the following three * Athlon-tbird XP (AMD) {{{ export CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" export CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -msse -mmmx -mfpmath=sse" export CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -msse -mmmx -mfpmath=sse -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" export CXX=gcc }}} * Pentium 4 (Intel) {{{ export CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" export CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -mcpu=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -msse -mmmx -mfpmath=sse" export CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -mcpu=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -msse -mmmx -mfpmath=sse -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" export CXX=gcc }}} * Generic {{{ export CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" export CFLAGS="-mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" export CXX=gcc }}} {{{-fomit-frame-pointer}}} should be omitted if you intend to debug. Otherwise leave it as it make mysql faster. == Configuration == This is a full configuration. Do it in the MYSQL5 folder. You can add/delete some of the options if you don't need it. This is intended to be a default mysql5 installation, again I'm not sure about this. {{{ ./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local/mysql \ --with-mysqld-user=mysql \ --without-debug \ --with-client-ldflags=-all-static \ --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static \ --disable-shared \ --localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql/data \ --with-extra-charsets=none \ --enable-assembler \ --with-unix-socket-path=/tmp/mysql.socket make sudo make install }}} This will install mysql in {{{/usr/local/mysql}}} and data in {{{/usr/local/mysql/data}}}. === my.conf === Now create the conf based in any of the pre-build confs. For small servers I recommend my-medium.cnf {{{ sudo cp support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf }}} You should edit this file for your needs. === Create GRANT tables === You must create the GRANT tables, and there is a very easy way to do so. {{{ sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql }}} (In later versions this script has been moved out of bin to /usr/local/mysql/scripts) === Changing Owners === {{{ sudo chown -R root /usr/local/mysql sudo chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var sudo chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql }}} == Testing == Start the server {{{ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe -user=mysql& }}} Set a root password for MySQL (does not affect system root's password) {{{ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password new_password }}} Try to log in! {{{ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql }}} You should add {{{/usr/local/mysql/bin}}} to your path so you can always use mysql, mysqldump, mysqladmin and some others right from the shell. == Starting Mysql at boot time == {{{ sudo cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysql sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/mysql sudo update-rc.d mysql defaults }}} When you restart mysql should be up if everything went ok. == MySQL Tools == * MySQL Administrator. MySQL Administrator is a powerful visual administration tool that makes it easy to administer and monitor your MySQL environment and gain significantly better visibility into how your databases are operating. More information at http://www.mysql.com/products/tools/administrator/ . To use install: {{{ mysql-admin }}} * phpmyadmin. A tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web. Currently it can create and drop databases, create/drop/alter tables, delete/edit/add fields, execute any SQL statement, manage keys on fields, manage privileges,export data into various formats and is available in 50 languages.
