Linux : install mysql-client after Zimbra - mysql

I installed Zimbra on my Linux server (Ubuntu 12.04 x64), and now I have to install mysql-client / mysql-server for other things.
During Zimbra install, it install mysql (in /opt/zimbra/mysql). This mysql server listen on port 7301.
Can I install mysql on my Linux without breaking my Zimbra install?

I tested. No problem. The MySql server of Zimbra is completely independent of the system.

Zimbra uses mysql/mariadb for storing the metadata.
The Data Store is a MariaDB database where internal mailbox IDs are linked
with user accounts. All the message metadata including tags, conversations,
and pointers indicate where the messages are stored in the file system. The
MariaDB database files are in /opt/zimbra/db

How to install specific of MySQL using apt package manager

I want to install a specific version of MySQL on my Ubuntu machine. Is there a way to install it using the package manager 'apt' or 'apt-get'?
In a normal installation, I'm getting MySQL 5.6 and when I try with MySQL documentation for MySQL 8, it installs version 8.0.25.
I looked into installing specific version of a package using 'package=version' in ubuntu with this Link
But, is that possible in the case of MySQL. If possible, where can I get the available version list? I want to install MySQL version 8.0.21.
To install a specific version, we have to use Archives
Download version 8.0.21 based on your system architecture from the archives
To unpack it, use this command with root access
tar -xvf mysql-server_MVER-DVER_CPU.deb-bundle.tar
You may need to install the libaio library if it is not already present on your system:
sudo apt-get install libaio1
For a basic installation of the MySQL server, install the database common files package, the client package, the client metapackage, the server package, and the server metapackage (in that order); you can do that with a single command:
sudo dpkg -i mysql-{common,community-client,client,community-server,server}_*.deb

Upgrading from 3.0 to 3.2

I'm tying to upgrade the Zabbix Server from 3.0 to 3.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 that I didn't install by myself and I don't know if it was istalled form repository or sources. I've done all the necessary backups and when I'm tying to execute this command
sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-agent
I get this message
Skipping zabbix-server-mysql, it is not installed and only upgrades
are requested.
I'm using MySQL with a working DB for Zabbix. Can the Zabbix Server be installd without the zabbix-server-mysql package and still use the MySQL database? If yes, does it mean that the previous user installed it from sources and not from the repository?
I didn't find similar problems searching the net so maybe someone here can help me.
dpkg-query -l 'zabbix*'
You'll see if Zabbix has been installed through the packages.
According to the error message you have, I would say definitely no.
Do a typical install through the packages, re-enter the login/pass of your MySQL DB and it will upgrade it. Don't forget to make a backup first, just in case something goes wrong.

Postfix install fails. MySQL conflict

I'm using CentOS 6, and trying to create a virtual mirror on a new server of an old one (which someone else setup). As much as possible, I want keep everything with the same version, but I've started from scratch and am documenting everything. By default, yum would install MySQL 5.1.73. I downloaded MySQL community v5.1.69 and installed it manually. This required installing a "shared compatibility" package of MySQL v5.1.69 first, and removing mysql-libs.x86_64. With that in place, I successfully mirrored MySQL.
Now, I'm trying to install Postfix. Yum wants to pull version 2.6.6-6. This fails because it requires a dependency that it attempts to install as well: mysql-libs.x86_64 v.5.1.73-5. It splits out a pile of errors messages which are all similar to this:
Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml from install of mysql-libs-5.1.73-5.el6_6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package MySQL-server-community-5.1.69-1.rhel5.x86_64
My old server is using postfix v2.6.6-2, which is apparently compatible with MySQL v5.1.69. I found the rpm for that version of postfix. It doesn't install, because it requires mysql-libs. I can't install mysql-libs v.5.1.69, because it conflicts with the MySQL community edition (also 5.1.69) that I installed. I tried to install the MySQL 5.1.73 "shared compatibility" package, but that conflicts with MySQL community too.
I'm going in circles. Is the only way to break this chain to uninstall MySQL community? Must I just use the v5.1.73 default, and the Postfix 2.6.6-6? I don't expect any real problems, but I'm going to end up with slightly different versions of MySQL and Postfix then I am trying hard to mirror.
I gave up, uninstalled all the MySQL community packages, and just installed the out of the box yum MySQL and Postfix. That works, but I now have different versions of this software on these two servers as a result.

Workbench did not install Mysql in services. Should I do it manually? How?

I just installed mysql workbench CE 5.2.
I tried to create and open a connection
and it said "Can't Connect to MYSQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10061)"
I looked around the answers on stackoverflow.
Eventually I found my way on services.
I saw that Mysql was not there.
dev.mysql.com says that I should install it with "mysqld" but it's not found inside the workbench installer.
What should I do?
If there is a way please tell it step by step.
Thank you!
Have you installed MySql server on the local machine? Workbench is just a GUI program to make it easier to access a database - be it on you local machine or a remote machine.
Just install mysql on your local machine. See http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/
There's a MySQL Installer for Windows which does install everything you need in this regard. Including several different server version, connectors, tools like Workbench and more. This installer should be your first attempt.
Of course you can also install the server separately. Download the msi and run the installer. Make sure you name your service properly. mysqld is usually not a name we use on Windows for a service. I recommend something like MySQL56 (for a 5.6 server).

Perl: Is it possible to install Mysql module without having Mysql installation?

I'm trying to install the Mysql module on my development machine but it seems to want a local Mysql installation before it will install.
Is there a work around?
I don't need or want a local installation of Mysql, I'm querying a network machine with the installation.
DBD::mysql is a wrapper around the MySQL client libraries. You will at least need to install a client, just like you would need to a client to connect to a remove MySQL server anyway.
You don't specify what system you're on or how you are trying to install DBD::mysql.
You'll need the client libraries (and if you're installing from CPAN - the source of the client libraries) but you should not need MySQL Server. If on a linux the mysql-server package is a dependency of DBD::mysql, it would be a bug.
