Since our goal is to install Percona 5.5, we’ll do the following:
yum install Percona-Server-server-55
The install proceeds like this:
Next let’s configure Percona to start on boot:
/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 mysql on
And run it: /sbin/service mysql start
And it should show:
Starting MySQL (Percona Server)… SUCCESS!
Notice that the service name for Percona is “mysql” instead of “mysqld” which is used by MySQL.
At this point the Percona Server 5.5 install has been completed.
Hi Inodecloud
Many thanks for sharing, but I think some of your post is not showing (install proceeds like this:), but a good post.
You may also like to review this post which gives a good install for percona, and we use it now as well but I also think Iw may start to use it for Centos 7, but could be wrong.
Many thanks
