How to install MySQL 5.6.3 (beta) on Ubuntu? - mysql

has anyone managed to install MySQL 5.6.3 (beta) on Ubuntu? I tried running alien against the server rpm but encountered the following error:
error in Version string '5.6.3_m6-2': invalid character in version number
Thanks

if you are still looking for a solution then you could also try using the instructions at http://www.geeksww.com/tutorials/database_management_systems/mysql/installation/download_configure_compile_and_install_mysql_56.php
this is for the latest available production-ready release ie. 5.6.10 but should also work with previous versions.

Take a look at this: http://www.denoq.com/2012/02/mysql-5-6-4-on-ubuntu-11-10/
I've not tried that but it appears reasonable to your problem: first install an older version, than change only the necessary.

MySql not found in Testlink Installation

Having trouble with the testlink installation. At the beginning of the installation it's giving me a warning saying:
"Failed! MySQL Database cannot be used." and after I try to install it shows me this "Checking PHP DB extensions Warning!: Your PHP installation don't have the mysql extension mysql- without it is IMPOSSIBLE to use Testlink.Failed!".
I installed Xampp before this, so I should have MySql, right? If it matters, I had to switch the Apache port numbers to 8080.

I faced similar issue, tried all given answers on different forums, but nothing worked for me unless I downgraded the version of Xampp to 32 bit installer version 5.6.36. Link which simply solved the problem.
As per my understanding issue is testlink [mysql] is not compatible with the latest version of PHP.
I followed this article to install but here also people faced similar issue as you can see comment section and there is no response from author on same. Rest of the article was very helpful.
I solved this issue configuring the extensions for SQL in file xampp's php.ini
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
DLLs should be in the path of the xampp installation, in my case C:\xampp\php\ext\**
Click config then click PHP (php.ini) and add then following three lines
extension=php_mssql.dll
extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll

Some versions of PHP are not compatible with MySQL. Try reinstalling PHP using version 5.6

Jira clean install "You have specified a database that is not empty"

I'm installing Jira locally with the latest version (7.13 x64 version).
When doing the custom install and trying to switch to using MySQL as the database,
I get the error:
You have specified a database that is not empty, please specify an empty database.
The database is brand new, I literally just created it and if I query it I can see it has no tables created.
I created the database (and several others) using either the standard CREATE DATABASE ... or be specifying UTF-8 as well, which is how the Atlassisn docs suggest it is done.
But, no matter what I do, the same error keeps appearing. Topics on the Atlassian site mentioning this error haven't been any help and all seem to do with version conflicts which aren't relevant here.
I have installed the Java/MySQL connector version 8.0.13. Is it something to do with that?
Thanks in advance.
It was the JDBC connector that was the problem. I downloaded and installed the latest (version 8.0.13) but it was causing the error.
Installing version 5.1.47 works just fine, even though it isn't recommended for use with MySQL 5.6, which I'm using.
But, using that connector, I have a database installed and Jira is functioning as it should.
I know is so late for answer but say answer to other searcher this question
I found this error in the logs which lead me to https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-67274
Loading class com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'. This is deprecated. The new driver class is com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver'. The driver is automatically registered via the SPI and manual loading of the driver class is generally unnecessary.
The long and short of it is you need an older mysql-connector-java-5.1.x.jar driver instead of the latest mysql-connector-java-8.0.x.jar that the documentation would lead you to install.
Reverting my driver to mysql-connector-java-5.1.49.jar fixed the issue for me.

Fail to run MySQL in Mac OSX 10.5.8

my mac is a powerPC. and I have tried both 64 bit and 32 bit version of MySQL.
Both return me "bad CPU type in executable" when I try to do this /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
I followed all the steps as specified in the mysql official website.
Well.. I have put my question in superuser.com but that site just too few people .
MySQL dropped support for PowerPC in version 5.1.40
The last version 5.1.40 can be found here

RoR segfaults when accessing MySQL database

I'm running Ruby on Rails on a Solaris 10 server. I just reinstalled Ruby today to get things to work correctly with my MySQL system so I could add a new application I've been working on. I also updated my gems and the system. MySQL is the only thing in this system that hasn't been updated lately, that's at version 5.1.25.
When I run the Mongrel server the system will work okay for a couple loads, sometimes more. After reloading the index of one of my scaffolds a couple times, or adding a new item and loading its show page, the server reports a segmentation fault and exits. There is no debug output other than: "Segmentation Fault (core dumped)". All other output appears normal.
I've made a couple new applications on my server, and those show the same errors. Creating an application with the database disabled does not present this problem.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
UPDATE: Unfortunately downgrading to MySQL 5.0.45 and reinstalling the mysql gem did not resolve the problem. If you have another suggestion, please let me know! You can see a complete list of the software installed and its versions here.
This is almost certainly a problem with the native C extensions of the mysql gem. There are a couple things I would try
Update your mysql-devel packages in your package manager and rebuild the mysql gem
Install a 5.0 version of mysql, and rebuild the mysql gem
Use the pure ruby mysql gem (http://www.tmtm.org/en/ruby/mysql/)
You might try installing the latest 5.0.x series version of MySQL, currently 5.0.83. I've never been able to get ActiveRecord to work with MySQL 5.1.x. I haven't gotten segfaults -- in my case it was different errors -- but I am using CentOS.
I think 5.0.x is the way to go.
if you check database.yml it's on the first line
MySQL. Versions 4.1 and 5.0 are recommended.
I ran into similar problems in XP with mysql 5.1
If all the other anwsers are not working, roll back to rails 2.1 that still has the mysql connector instead of the gem. I saw on some machines that the mysql gems was causing the software to crash or not work properly...
