How to remove MariaDB and install MySQL for Postfix? - mysql

I have removed MariaDB completely and installed MySQL V.8 but now when I want to install postfix with yum install postfix. Its dependencies are MariaDB-common and MariaDB-compat so it needs them however I have uninstalled it. At last in returns a Transaction check error with this message that
file /etc/my.cnf from install of
MariaDB-common-10.2.23-1.el7.centos.x86_64 conflicts with file from
package mysql-community-server-8.0.15-1.el7.x86_64
How can I fix it?
UPDATE
In this website I got that it needs a file named libmysqlclient.so.18 which must be in /usr/lib64/ directory but it is missed. How can I get this file without running command yum install MariaDB*?

I had the similar issue file /etc/my.cnf from install of mysql-community-server-8.0.16-2.el7.x86_64 conflicts with file from package MariaDB-common-10.3.3-1.el7.centos.x86_64 issued by removing mariadb packages.
yum remove MariaDB-common*

Why can't I uninstall mysql-5.5 & install mysql-5.6 on Amazon Linux machine?

I'm on a 64-bit Amazon Linux machine.
I had previously installed mysql-server 5.5. (using sudo yum install)
However, I soon found out that my application requires MySql-serve 5.6.
So I uninstalled mysql-server 5.5. (using sudo yum remove mysql-server) and now I'm following these instruction to install mysql-server 5.6.
But I'm running into a problem.
when I try to do the second install, I get the following 2 errors:
file /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.18 from install of mysql-community-libs-5.6.14-3.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package mysql55-libs-5.5.46-1.10.amzn1.x86_64
file /etc/my.cnf from install of mysql-community-server-5.6.14-3.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package mysql-config-5.5.46-1.10.amzn1.x86_64
Why on earth am I getting these two errors? How do I fix them?
I removed mysql-server-5.5, so why is it conflicting with 5.6?
I did ls on /etc/my.cnf and /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.18 and the files don't even exist!! If the files don't exist how can they be conflicting with other files?? Who can help explain this?
PS, I tried #msknapp's explanation here: Can't install MySQL 5.6 by RPM, however I don't know what to do after step #1 to install the rpm. I think that step is left unstated.
mysql-server (of whatever version) depends on other packages ( in your case mysql-community-libs mysql-community-server)
When it is installed in the first place with the old version this stuff is installed. When you "uninstall" mysql-server these dependencies are NOT removed.
When you try and install the new version these still existing packages will conflict with the new package. It does not matter if the actual files in the package are there, it is the package and it's listing of what to expect that conflicts.
To resolve your problem figure out what the dependencies of mysql-server were and uninstall them before attemping the install.

what's the meaning of such mysql rpms

rpm -qa on my host,i see:
mysql-5.1.73-3.el6_5.x86_64
mysql-libs-5.1.73-3.el6_5.x86_64
but i still cant see mysql.h and mysql.so in the lib and include dir.so i google and see other two rpm:
mysql-server-5.1.73-3.el6_5.x86_64
mysql-devel-5.1.73-3.el6_5.x86_64
mysql-client-5.1.73-3.el6_5.x86_64
so
1)what's the meaning of these rpms?to me,mysql-libs-5.1.73-3.el6_5.x86_64 should have the *.so an *.a files installed,but i cant see them on the host?
"yum list installed mysql*" says nothing installed,but "rpm -qa" can see msyql rpms?what the diff of these two cmds?
mysql is the command line client
mysql-client is the same thing for Mandriva
mysql-libs are the shared libraries required for MySQL clients
mysql-server is the MySQL server
mysql-devel are the header files required to develop (compile) MySQL applications

R: installing RMySQL package failed

I am trying to install RMySQL package in R, by install.packages("RMySQL"), but it complains that it couldn't find the include libraries.
Configuration error:
could not find the MySQL installation include and/or library
directories. Manually specify the location of the MySQL
libraries and the header files and re-run R CMD INSTALL.
So, then I installed mysql in Ubuntu as follows:
sudo apt-get install mysql-client
This installation worked fine, but still I get the same error in R. Can someone point me to the right direction please?
I've checked this
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=r-cran-rmysql
so you should have r-cran-rmysql package inside your Ubuntu packages list. Therefore
from inside R remove DBI, RMySQL packages,
then sudo apt-get install r-cran-rmysql

What is a yum package conflict?

When running the transaction check to install mysql i'm getting:
Processing Conflict: mysql55-5.5.29-1.w6.x86_64 conflicts mysql < 5.5
I guess this means i'm attempting to install a package called mysql55-5.5.29-1.w6.x86_64 on to a system with mysql already installed but somehow there is a conflict?
yum says that mysql isn't installed so it was installed without using the repositories. In that case how does yum know there is confict?
it would be good to better under what 'confict' means.
There are many online yum repo available and all are free opensource contribute. So source packages are compiled with different options in each repo. So when we add 2 or more yum repo at a time, it may happen that 2 or more packages are of same version are selected and we get a conflict error.
In your case you added some repo which is providing mysql 5.5 which is already available with some other name in some other repo or already installed but new mysql package is selected by yum for any other package as dependency. Try removing one of the repo or try installing it as yum install mysql-5.5*
You can try this : yum list | grep mysql. It will list mysql in different packages, then you can make a decision to remove one of them and install mysql again.

Can we install MySQL different versions on Linux CentOS5.8?

I am trying to install a software which required MySQL-server, MySQL-client installed on the server so now I want to install MySQL-server and MySQL-client using rpm files "MySQL-server-5.5.17-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm" and "MySQL-client-5.5.17-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm".
I have installed MySQL-client but when I try to run mysql-server
*rpm -i MySQL-server-5.5.17-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm*
it's showing error:
*error: Failed dependencies:
MySQL conflict with mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_6.6.x86_64
MySQL conflict with mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_6.6.i386
MySQL conflict with mysql-server-5.0.77-4.el5_6.6.x86_64*
So how can i solve this problem?
the error given by you *error: Failed dependencies:
MySQL conflict with mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_6.6.x86_64
MySQL conflict with mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_6.6.i386
MySQL conflict with mysql-server-5.0.77-4.el5_6.6.x86_64*
It clear show that the machine you are going to install mysql 5.5 rpm have mysql 5.0.77 installed .
to resolve this problem .
1. you take backup of datadir and my.cnf (if you are using mysql 5.0 db server earlier).
2. remove all mysql 5.0 server packages , to remove these package you should knew what are the packages already installed on machine
to view all mysql package already installed use rpm -qa | grep -i "mysql*" this command show what package is already installed on machine
now you have to remove all package which name shows in above command.
to remove a package/rpm use rpm -e mysql-5.0.** if show error then use
rpm -e --nodeps mysql-5.0.**
we have to remove all packages one by one by using rpm -e .
after successful remove all older version of mysql , now start installation of mysql-5.5*** packages by using rpm -ivh mysql-5.5***.rpm.
First question - is the version of MySQL already installed actually in use or was it simply there as a result of a fresh CentOS install? If the former, try upgrading rather than installing. If the latter, uninstall the old version (possibly using the --no-deps option on rpm) and then install the newer version
Next, are you trying to replace MySQL or install another version alongside it?
If the former, again try upgrading rather than installing. If that's not possible, you're going to have to remove the older version and then install the new version
If the latter, and if it is possible, look at the --prefix and --relocate options in RPM.as they may help.
If you do to mange to get it installed side by side with an older, you'll have fun and games ensuring that the relevant versions are pointing to the correct libraries and that you don't get any corruption between them. Also, you will need to run them so that they listen on separate ports with separate database folders, PID and socket files etc.
Whatever you need to do, do it out of business hours with as many backups as you can do
