MySQL Install?
| Posted by Nortorious, 05-31-2010, 04:47 PM |
| Is it better to install from source and compile and install it chroot? or is it better to yum install mysql-server?
And when you do it by source, do you rpm package it?
I've always used CPanel so I'm trying to figure out best way to do this manual.

| installation from source guarantees you get the release that you want or the latest one depending on your OS flavor.

| If you can use Yum then go for it. Use
yum install mysql*
Yum will solve most of dependencies by itself. you need go go for searching for packages.

| Install Mysql using yum and that should be enough. For security reasons you can block remote connections to Mysql server and only allow localhost which is enough.
