Perl mysql modul in debian - mysql

I have two servers running on redhat and debian. I am using a perl script for taking mysql backups and in redhat it is working fine. When I run it on debian, I get the following error:
Can't locate Mysql.pm in #INC (#INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ./dbbackup.pl line 15.
I googled this error and found that I need to install mysql driver for perl. I installed it using this command:
sudo apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl
The response was as follows:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libdbd-mysql-perl is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 189 not upgraded.
Still I am getting the same error. Can someone help me on this? Do I need to restart any other service?

Mysql.pm was the old, pre-DBI interface to MySQL. It's been obsolete for years, and was dropped entirely from the DBD-mysql dist (a.k.a. libdbd-mysql-perl) in 2006.
You can try to install an old copy, but you're better off porting the backup script to DBI and DBD::mysql, or finding a newer backup script.

Installing MySQL and MySQLWorkbench In Offline Red Hat 7 Machine

I am trying to install mysql workbench on a system without network. I downloaded the mysql-workbench-community, mysql-community-{server, client, common, libs} which were noted in the "Installing RPM Packages" section of MySQL Install Manual. It states that these are the standard rpm packages needed for a basic functional install of mysql community. So with that I downloaded all the rpm packages and attempted to manually install each using:
sudo rpm -ivh mysql-community-package-name.rpm
Unfortunately I keep getting dependency errors. I found this link to obtain all the dependencies for a package. So on my second attempt I ran the following:
Repoquery -R --resolve --recursive mysql-community-server | xargs -r yumdownloader
Which gave me about 100 rpm packages. I transferred them onto my machine and unfortunately more dependencies like mysql-connectors-community and mysql-=tools-community came up which were never documented or mentioned as dependencies with the script.
What am i doing wrong? Is there a way to download all the rpms and bundle them together as a custom RPM in the future? I see ubuntu has a apt-offline command mentioned here. Is there a similar method I can apply for redhat?
Update1:
I have an idea to create a container rhel7 instance, mounting /root/tmpkg and running this example. But is there another way I should consider?

Failed to Install Mysql 5.7

i try to install mysql server 5.7 in my beaglebone black with OS Debian Jessie, i following this instruction http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-apt-repo-quick-guide/en/#apt-repo-setup . but when i using apt-get update, it always give me an error.
W: Failed to fetch http://repo.mysql.com/apt/debian/dists/jessie/InRelease Unable to find expected entry 'mysql-apt-config/binary-armhf/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
This error is make me insane, i try to using apt-get clean, deleting mysql.list but still give me that error.
Really appreciate if you can help me, thanks.
I guess this means that this repository doesn't provide ARMv7 hardfloat builds of packages. Probably only meant for i386 and AMD64 machines.
You could install mySQL 5.6 from jessie-backports if that version is enough for your needs. If you need 5.7 you'd either need to rebuild packages (very slow) or dist-upgrade to Debian SID (beware, can be unstable).

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.

Homebrew - can't install Sphinx

I'm trying to get Sphinx (and thinking Sphinx working). It have worked before - but it stopped working tonight after my colleague installed Node, php and some other stuff.
It first complained about a locked pid file:
FATAL: failed to lock pid file
After this I tried to reinstall Sphinx:
brew uninstall sphinx
And:
brew install sphinx.
I already have mysql so I skipped --mysql. This results in the following:
This is not sphinx - the Python Documentation Generator.
To install sphinx-python: use pip or easy_install,
Sphinx has been compiled with libstemmer support.
Sphinx depends on either MySQL or PostreSQL as a datasource.
You can install these with Homebrew with:
brew install mysql
For MySQL server.
brew install mysql-connector-c
For MySQL client libraries only.
brew install postgresql
For PostgreSQL server.
We don't install these for you when you install this formula, as
we don't know which datasource you intend to use.
When running searchd I get this:
FATAL: no readable config file (looked in /usr/local/Cellar/sphinx/2.2.6/etc/sphinx.conf, ./sphinx.conf).
And when trying to start thinking-sphinx for my rails app I get:
Failed to start searchd. Check the log files for more information.
And the log file still says:
FATAL: failed to lock pid file
I'm not sure what is causing this, or how I can fix it. Thought that reinstalling Sphinx would be enough - but I'm stuck at square one.
Any ideas on how I can get it to work again?
How about uninstalling sphinx and giving this a go:
brew install sphinx --pgsql --mysql

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
