I am new to Linux and tried to install mysql in my local box
I googled a lot and follow the instruction but none of them works
some people recommand this" but it did not work for me and system give me warning about this is not a official version.
Basically what I did was:
yum install mysql mysql-version
succeed without error, version is 5.5.28
systemctl start mysqld.service
here it threw out error:
Job failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details.
I am using Fedora 16 (3.1.0-7.fc16.i686)
Thank you in advance
Could you try running
yum groupinstall "MySQL Database"
then run
service mysqld start
and see the outcome. Assuming you are running as root or with root permissions.
Got the EXACT same problem. It seems there is an issue regarding the permissions of the /var/lib/mysql directory.
This nailed it for me:
chown -R mysql.mysql /var/lib/mysql

I need a specific version of MySQL (5.7) to be installed on my MacBook with M1.
I'm trying to do that with Homebrew.
brew install mysql#5.7
The output:
We've installed your MySQL database without a root password. To secure it run:
mysql_secure_installation
MySQL is configured to only allow connections from localhost by default
To connect run:
mysql -uroot
mysql#5.7 is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /opt/homebrew, because this is an alternate version of another formula.
If you need to have mysql#5.7 first in your PATH, run: echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql#5.7/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
For compilers to find mysql#5.7 you may need to set: export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql#5.7/lib" export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql#5.7/include"
To have launchd start mysql#5.7 now and restart at login: brew services start mysql#5.7 Or, if you don't want/need a background service you can just run: /opt/homebrew/opt/mysql#5.7/bin/mysql.server start
Right after that, I try to run:
echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/mysql#5.7/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
source .zshrc
mysql_secure_installation
And get the error:
Securing the MySQL server deployment.
Enter password for user root:
Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
Also, I've tried:
brew services start mysql#5.7
And also get the error:
Error: Permission denied # rb_sysopen - /Users/vivanc/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql#5.7.plist
Seems like there is a permissions-related problem.
Any advice is appreciated.
If you are running into issues like "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'" or "The post-install step did not complete successfully MySQL", and you installed a previous version of mysql (e.g. 8.x) previously, you may have been at the point where you need to clean everything before reinstalling your preferred version of mysql#x.x.
If you've already visited these to links:
Uninstall all those broken versions of MySQL and re-install it with Brew on Mac Mavericks (Coderwall) + Install MySQL 5.7 on macOS using Homebrew (github) and your're still having trouble with starting your mysql-service, you should try to also remove also /opt/homebrew/etc/my.cnf file.
Remove it together with all the related files too! Summary for an M1 Apple Silcion machine, after uninstalling via brew uninstall mysql or brew uninstall mysql#x.x, please remove:
/opt/homebrew/var/mysql
/opt/homebrew/etc/my.cnf
After this, everything worked like a fresh install (for me). Hope this saved someone's time.
While this question is specific to Apple Silicon and mysql 5.7, and I will address that in this answer, I would like to start by adding some general notes to save others time:
Homebrew supports mysql 5.7 for both intel and apple silicon.
https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/mysql#5.7
Homebrew supports mysql 5.6 for the intel chip, but not apple silicon:
https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/mysql#5.6
If you need 5.6 on apple silicon, it's probably a good idea to just settle with 5.7 since production will need to be upgraded eventually and the differences aren't that big.
In my situation I originally did brew install mysql and it gave me the latest mysql (currently 8.0). When I tried going back over it and doing brew install mysql#5.6, of course this didn't work due to not being supported on the m1 max (apple silicon). I ran into issues then trying to get brew install mysql#5.7 working. I followed some guides mentioning various suggestions. After playing with it for a while, it seems that running two versions of mysql at once will corrupt your mysql files and make it hard to work with and confuse homebrew.
I came across these guides:
brew install mysql on macOS
https://coderwall.com/p/os6woq/uninstall-all-those-broken-versions-of-mysql-and-re-install-it-with-brew-on-mac-mavericks
https://www.codegrepper.com/code-examples/shell/brew+uninstall+mysql
Before reading further, note that in my situation, I had a zip available for my whole local mysql database needs and could risk destroying what I have.
Warning! Reading further and executing these commands carelessly may delete your mysql storage. Make sure you have a backup.
brew remove mysql is a good command that got rid of my latest install.
I also needed brew remove mysql#5.7 even though this is the version I'm trying to install, but they were stepping on each other's foot...
brew cleanup is nice, I noticed it freed up some lock files.
I don't recall having any luck with:
launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
but you can try it.
rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist has worked for me.
But note there will also be another file in there for your 5.7 setup.
I'd recommend:
cd ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ then look around to see if you have any mysql* in there. Then if you do, such as homebrew.mxcl.mysql#5.7.plist, then remove it.
These are some that worked for me:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/var/mysql
rm /usr/local/etc/my.cnf
rm /usr/local/etc/my.cnf.default
Also:
cd opt/homebrew/var
Then if you notice a mysql directory in there, remove it.
It's possible you might have docker or something else similar also running mysql or mysqld.
ps -ax | grep "[m]ysql"
(Note the brackets and quotes in the above is to prevent the grep from showing up in the process list and matching itself unlike the lazier version: ps -ax | grep mysql which will give the impression there's an extra mysql process running)
Once you're ready, please run:
brew services list
double-check you don't have mysql in there.
Then double check you don't have any mysql process running:
ps -ax | grep "[m]ysql"
This can happen for example if you enter mysqld for example....
You might need to do brew services stop mysql or brew services stop mysql#5.7 or similar and repeat steps if you see anything on the service list or process list.
Finally, you should be ready for a fresh install.
The fresh installation process should be rather straight forward:
brew install mysql#5.7
brew link --force mysql#5.7
brew services start mysql#5.7
Then run brew services list to make sure your installation worked correctly.
If you see it's green and "started", your installation was successful!
You should also run:
mysql_secure_installation
Then choose a password for root and go through the list of questions like validation, etc.
Once you're installed, you might also run into mysql mode issues.
cd /opt/homebrew/etc and you should find a my.cnf file.
Edit it using either vim or nano.
You should see something like:
# Default Homebrew MySQL server config
[mysqld]
# Only allow connections from localhost
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
Edit it and set the mysql mode. For example, I don't want the no_zero_in_date mode, so I use:
# Default Homebrew MySQL server config
[mysqld]
# Only allow connections from localhost
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
sql-mode="ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"
Then restart mysql like so:
brew services restart mysql#5.7
Then double check you still have a green status "started":
brew services list
If you do, then you should have the no_zero_in_date mode disabled.
You can test it with a query:
SELECT ##sql_mode;
You should now have mysql 5.7 running on Apple Silicon and have the sql_mode set.
If you run into more troubleshooting, do your best to get into a known state such as uninstalled, doing a fresh install, or already installed with some version, etc.
I solved it after hours of searching, it was because I had not cleaned everything regarding my previous MySQL 8.X installation. I followed this and got suspicious when I realized I don't have most of the folders there. I then did a search for all folders named mysql on my computer and found a mysql folder in opt/homebrew/var. After removing it, reinstalling MySQL 5.7, and starting the server everything is working as expected.
When setting up my Apple M1 Macbook Pro I was experiencing the issue of the following error message being thrown:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
My fix was to modify the MySQL config file:
nano /usr/local/etc/my.cnf
Append the following lines:
tmpdir=/tmp
user=root
Then run:
brew services restart mysql#5.7
This fixed my issue, and I was then able to connect successfully with my DB client.
Seems like I found the solution (or workaround).
After installing the MySQL 5.7 with Homebrew just run:
mysql.server start
MySQL is started and then you are able to run mysql_secure_installation and mysql commands.
I got this warning:
You should change the ownership of these directories to your user.
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/share/doc /usr/local/share/man /usr/local/share/man/man1
And make sure that your user has write permission.
chmod u+w /usr/local/share/doc /usr/local/share/man /usr/local/share/man/man1
I run those two command then it works.
I'm trying to use MySQL on Arch Linux. it is already installed but this error comes up when I try to connect:
connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2 "No such file or directory")'
I've looked for /etc/my.cfg but the file does not exist.
Something must have gone wrong during the installation.
How can I "purge" MariaDB and reinstall it?
If you're using archlinux it is a vital idea to understand the package manager (pacman). For the question about /etc/my.cfg you can run
pacman -Ql mariadb
there you will see that the file is actually called:
/etc/mysql/my.cnf
Arch linux will not configure the package for you, that is part of the arch philosophy. It will provide example configurations, and even provide you with a systemd unit file
usr/lib/systemd/system/mysqld.service
but it is your responsibility to ensure that the configuration is correct and actually start the daemon.
systemctl enable mysqld # add the unit file to the boot sequence
systemctl start mysqld # runs ExecStart= in the unit file
systemctl stop mysqld # kills the daemon
systemctl disable mysqld # remove unit from boot sequence
reinstall
Since the word reinstall is in the title of the question and someone might find this question thanks to that: To reinstall mariadb you simply do
pacman -S mariadb
pacman will reinstall a package that is already installed, there is no need to remove the package (for completeness, package removal happens with pacman -R)
as of 7-28-17 I had to do this on a new install. Newbie here might save someone some time. It was a real pain.
OK HERE IS THE DEAL!!!!!
INSTALL APACHE _ NO PROB
INSTALL MYSQL _PROBLEM
pacman -S mysql then before starting service
MUST UNCOMMENT INNODB IN:
nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
then must initialize datadirectory before starting service:
mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
You need to initialize the MariaDB data directory prior to starting
the service. This can be done with mysql_install_db command, e.g.:
mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
Optional dependencies for mariadb
galera: for MariaDB cluster with Galera WSREP
perl-dbd-mysql: for mysqlhotcopy, mysql_convert_table_format and
mysql_setpermission
CNF file is /etc/mysql/my.cnf in Arch Linux.
One simple way I can reproduce your issue is when MariaDB is shut down. Sorry if it sounds dumb but as you did not mention it: is MariaDB started? sudo systemctl start mysqld.service
You should have a look at MariaDB logs to get some clue: journalctl _SYSTEMD_UNIT=mysqld.service (maybe paste some part if you still don't get what is going on).
This happens the first time you install MySQL and MariaDB. As grochmal pointed out, you have to set up configurations before first use. But, the user teckk sent these three links in the archlinux newbie corner:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MariaDB
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MariaDB#Reset_the_root_password
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=51981
In short, you have to run the command below before starting the service:
sudo mariadb-install-db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
Optionally (recommended) you should improve the initial security by calling:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Now you can start the service:
sudo systemctl start mariadb
Optionally, you could install and use a graphical front-end tool.
Carry on with setting up the configurations as described in the archwiki post on MariaDB Configuration.
I am on FreeBSD 10.2 32 bit and installed the newest version of mysql with the following command:
pkg install mysql57-server-5.7.12
Now, when I try to start mysql:
service mysql-server start
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server: WARNING: failed precmd routine for mysql
I am getting this error. I hope you can help me.
Check your /var/db/mysql folder, if it contains files, make a backup and delete dir content:
rm -rf /var/db/mysql/*
Then do a data directory initialization:
/usr/local/libexec/mysqld --initialize --user=mysql
You should get a new temporary password, write it down, then start mysql-server
service mysql-server start
After mysql starts, secure the installation via:
/usr/local/bin/mysql_secure_installation
Open /etc/rc.conf and append or modify this line :
mysql_enable="YES"
Save the file, close it and retry to start the server.
I have problem mysql starting, i was update to El captian on mac.
In terminal,
brew install mysql
mysql.server start
but it not working
this is error message.
Starting MySQL... ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file(/usr/local/var/mysql/Heo-MacBook-Pro.local.pid).
help me please!
I had the same problem using brew command to start mysql service.
If you are using MacOS, go to System Preferences and click on MySQL icon. Probably you'll see information message about permission denied in some directories. All you need to do is to give permission to that.
That's worked for me.
Open your terminal
Execute this command: sudo chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/data
Try this first:
/usr/local/var/mysql/support-files/mysql.server restart
If that doesn’t fix
Remove or backup the /etc/my.cnf
also try this method:
sudo /usr/local/var/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start
Starting MySQL
. ERROR! ....................
remove the .err files like so:
rm *.err /usr/local/var/mysql/data/
Solution working for my case:
Check your error log at /usr/local/var/mysql/Heo-MacBook-Pro.local.err
If there is something like this in the log: ...[Note] Unable to delete pid file: Permission denied..., which means mysql does not have the permission to your mysql folder
Use the following command in terminal to grant the permission: sudo chown -R mysql /usr/local/var/mysql/
The Problem could also be a version mismatch. My db was installed with Homebrew as version 5, later unintentionally upgraded to version 8.
Check the most recent error log at /usr/local/var/mysql/<your-computers-name.some.domain>.err
You can conveniently read the last couple of lines (e.g. 40) of the file with tail -n 40 <your-computers-name.some.domain>.err
You may find a hint about upgrading istructions in this case.
something strange is happening while trying to run MySQL server on my MacBook Air.
First ill installed MySQL using brew install mysql. Installation was successful without any errors.
And then problems started to showing up...
First i had to use following command in order to create empty tables:
cd /usr/local
sudo mysql_install_db --user=mysql --ldata=/var/db/mysql
Now im trying to launch the server service itself, but another error is not allowing me to do it:
ivankutsarov$ sudo mysql.server start
Password:
Starting MySQL
. ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/usr/local/var/mysql/Ivans-MacBook-Air.local.pid).
While ill navigate to the mentioned folder i cant see mysql folder in it, neither i can see it in my /usr/local/bin directory.
Any ideas guys?
Guys i found the problem. I forgot to run these 2 commands after installing mysql:
First, run: brew help mysql
Read the info displayed after command was executed, and you will notice in the first 2 lines the following commands which are necessary to run in order to start your server!
1.
unset TMPDIR
2.
mysql_install_db --verbose --user=whoami --basedir="$(brew --prefix mysql)" --datadir=/usr/local/var/mysql --tmpdir=/tmp
I had a similar problem a day ago. mysql functioned fine until out of the blue PID file errors occur. I tried everything to fix the installation, replacing a dozen of files and trying many different settings.
what eventually worked was a clean install of mysql via the dmg package and a migration of my data&schema's to this install (use mysql workbench for this to save time), then uninstalled the version installed via brew.
