I have downloaded and stalled the MySQL server 5.5 version via .DMG on my Mac.
But I am confused as to what to do next. I have the preference settings bundle and it says that the MySQL server is running. But do I need to download a client separately? I'm trying to access MySQl in terminal to create an account or login but nothing is working.
You need to use the full path to mysql (/var/lib/mysql), or add the mysql directory to your $PATH var.
If you're trying to install LAMP environment on your mac, try a complete solution, such as MAMP (http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html) or XAMP.
These tools are bundled with phpmyadmin, which makes mysql administration easy

I have a development server with Mysql. I need mysql specifically as I have used the C++ connector API extensively in my code and this API does not work with MariaDB. I need to install a very secure, easily configurable mail server on this server and have chosen to install iRedMail. The thing is, on Buster, mysql gets replaced by MariaDB when you run the iRedMail install script.
Is there a way to configure iRedMail to run with a mysql backend?
I have tried the following tutorial:
https://docs.iredmail.org/install.iredmail.with.remote.mysql.server.html
It did not work. That is the only one I have found.
I have a LAMP server on an EC2 instance. I downloaded phpMyAdmin using Amazon's guide here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/install-LAMP.html.
On the phpMyAdmin page it says that:
"A newer version of phpMyAdmin is available and you should consider upgrading. The newest version is 4.6.5.2, released on 2016-12-05."
and I need to update it and also MySQL to use new features they put on the updates.
I'm accessing the EC2 instance from the terminal in my Mac laptop. I've tried a lot of things but I couldn't manage it. I've tried
sudo yum install -y phpMyAdmin
sudo yum install
I tried to manually download the latest version from phpmyadmin.net and change the files in the folder but I couldn't access the phpmyadmin folder in the first place.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks
You're using the version of phpMyAdmin maintained by your distribution (presumably Fedora, CentOS, or Red Hat); this means that basically you're not responsible for (or able to) upgrade the software that's under control of the package manager (aside from running the updates occasionally). If you wish to use a different version, you're certainly able to remove the package manager version then install it manually. I don't use EPEL, but I believe the highest version currently distributed is 4.4.15.9 (reference, which I think is because of the older versions of PHP and/or MySQL which are currently shipped. So you might not be able to upgrade due to your MySQL or PHP versions, but YMMV.
Basically, if you're using the package managed version, the whole point is so you don't have to worry about manual updates.
You can disable the notification by adding the directive $cfg['VersionCheck'] = false; to your config.inc.php (which may be in /etc/ or /etc/phpmyadmin, but I'm just guessing about how your distribution may handle it.).
I have downloaded the MySQL from the following link:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
Downloaded the version 8.0.0. I have OS X 10.10.5
Now, I suppose I need to configure a visual MySQL client on my laptop to write queries. For that, I have installed sequelpro (sequelpro.com).
I need help on following points:
- Since there are a number of sample databases which one can use to learn SQL, can you please guide me on few such databases. My objective is to learn advanced SQL.
- Also, how do I configure my client (sequelpro) to connect to that database so that I can run queries.
As of now, I am stuck with the following screenshot with no clue what to do next.
Thanks a lot. Screenshot here
Based on the fact you said in the comments you have OSX and you installed mysql manually without phpmyadmin I suggest you download and install mamp.
mamp
1: https://www.mamp.info/en/ is,
MAMP installs a local server environment in a matter of seconds on
your computer. It comes free of charge, and is easily installed. MAMP
will not compromise any existing Apache installation already running
on your system. You can install Apache, PHP and MySQL without starting
a script or having to change any configuration files! Furthermore, if
MAMP is no longer needed, just delete the MAMP folder and everything
returns to its original state (i.e. MAMP does not modify any of the
"normal" system).
Basically it is a fake server that runs on your computer. This will be yours for localhost development. You can use it to serve your localhost php applications, change versions of php and gives you a GUI for mysql which is phpmyadmin.
Once you install mamp
you might need to configure mamp to use the mamp mysql but most likley it will work out of the box. If you do run into any problems make sure you stop the instance of mysql you installed already before running mamp then trying to ran mamp again and it should be using the correct version.
After I upgraded my Mac from Mavericks OSX to Yosemite, my local Apache and MySQL server setup did not work anymore. Thanks to Apache localhost/~username/ not working I just got the Apache server working but my Joomla application now indicates it can't access the MySQL database; neither can the Phpmyadmin tool.
How to fix this? I've seen instructions for installing MySQL for Yosemite (https://www.computersnyou.com/3376/setup-apache-php-mysql-macosx-10-10-yosemite/) but I'm not sure whether that's the best way forward as my Joomla application still needs to access the existing MySQL db information? E.g., I don't want to lose my existing saved database info of various web applications....
If you had a working native version of mysql working on Mavericks, the mysql preference pane should be still visible in the preferences, just click on the preference pane and start mysql.
Only problem is that mysql does not auto-start on boot, this can be solved by following these steps: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26465743/580173
Just Start MySQL Server! It worked for me.
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).
