操作系统：CentOS release 5.10 （Final）
文件准备：
MySQL-server-community-5.1.73-1.rhel5.i386.rpm
MySQL-client-community-5.1.73-1.rhel5.i386.rpm
一、安装MySQL
rpm包安装：
切换到包所在目录，执行：
rpm -i MySQL-server-community-5.1.73-1.rhel5.i386.rpm rpm -i MySQL-client-community-5.1.73-1.rhel5.i386.rpm
完成后MySQL的*安装目录为/usr。注意，如果只是安装了MySQL-server的话，在这些路径中像mysql、mysqladmin等是没有的，也是无法使用的。

二、安装完成后的相关配置
1.运行mysql_install_db 程序设置含有确定如何让用户连接服务器的权限的初始MySQL授权表。
/usr/bin/mysql_install_db --user=root
mysql_install_db脚本创建数据目录、拥有所有数据库权限的mysql数据库和可以用来测试MySQL的test数据库。脚本为root账户和匿名用户账户创建 授权表条目。
2.启动数据库。
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
3.配置数据库
为数据库设定一个密码(初始为空)：
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
卸掉test数据库：
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root drop test
以上两个操作可以由mysql_secure_installation脚本代替：
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
其功能包括：
Change the root password?
Remove anonymous users?
Disallow root login remotely?
Remove test database and access to it?
Reload privilege tables now?
4.关闭数据库
/etc/init.d/mysql stop
或
mysqadmin shutdown -uroot -p
5.自动启动数据库
如果④中/etc/init.d/mysql存在或有效，则数据库很可能是已经自动启动的，用以下方法确认：
[root@localhost ~]# chkconfig --list | grep mysql
mysql 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
如果能够列出mysql的启动状态，而且至少3和4为on，则说明mysql能够自动启动。如不能，接着配置：
cd /usr/share/mysql/ cp mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysql chmod +x /etc/init.d/mysql chkconfig --addMySQL chkconfig --level 345MySQL on
在配置自动启动数据库可能会遇到的问题：
当执行
/etc/init.d/mysql
时出现
Starting MySQL.Manager of pid-file quit without updating file [Failed]
查询日志：
cat /var/lib/mysql/localhost.localdomain.err
有错误
/usr/sbin/mysqld: File './mysql-bin.index' not found (Errcode: 13)
140507 21:38:01 [ERROR] Aborting
而这时，执行
/etc/init.d/mysql --user=root
带上参数user是没问题的（--user=root或--user=mysql）
解决办法：
chgrp -R mysql /var/lib/mysql/
chown -R mysql /var/lib/mysql/
/var/lib/mysql/ 是mysql-bin.index所在的文件夹。
6.匿名账户
①为匿名用户指定密码，可以用SET PASSWORD或UPDATE。在两种情况中，一定要使用PASSWORD()函数为密
码加密。
使用SET PASSWORD方法:
shell> mysql -u root
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR ''@'localhost' = PASSWORD('newpwd');
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR ''@'host_name' = PASSWORD('newpwd');
使用UPDATE直接修改用户表：
shell> mysql -u root
mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = PASSWORD('newpwd')
-> WHERE User = '';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
在user表中直接使用UPDATE更新密码后，必须让服务器用FLUSH PRIVILEGES重新读授权表。否则，重新启动服务器
前，不会使用更改。
②删除匿名账户
shell> mysql -u root
mysql> DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User = '';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
7.为root账户指定密码
①使用SET PASSWORD语句：
shell> mysql -u root
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('newpwd');
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'host_name' = PASSWORD('newpwd');
②使用mysqladmin命令行客户端程序：
shell> mysqladmin -u root password "newpwd"
shell> mysqladmin -u root -h host_name password "newpwd"
③使用UPDATE语句：
shell> mysql -u root
mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = PASSWORD('newpwd')
-> WHERE User = 'root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
6.远程连接
①MySQL出于安全因素考虑，默认配置只允许本地登录，打开MySQL配置文件 /etc/mysql/my.cnf，找到 bind-address = 127.0.0.1 修改为 bind-address = 0.0.0.0；
②添加一个远程用户，grant all on *.* to 'userRemote'@'192.168.1.111' identified by '123456' with grant option;
grant all on *.* to 'userRemote'@'192.168.1.111' identified by '' with grant option
这样userRemote就可以从地址192.168.1.111来登录MySQL，如果想不限IP，可以将IP地址设为%，这样这个用户从任意地址都可以访问。
③打开对应防火墙(临时)，iptables -I INPUT 2 -p tcp --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT。
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport -j ACCEPT
