I built a new image on VMWare Fusion for my class, which required installing MySQL 5.6 on Fedora, Version 20. If you don’t know how to add your user to the sudoers list, you should check this older and recently updated blog post.

1. Download the MySQL Yum Repository and launch the downloaded RPM.

1. Install MySQL on Fedora, Version 20, which you can find with the following command:

shell> rpm -qa | grep mysql
mysql-community-release-fc20-5.noarch

The fc20-5 changes with point releases, but assuming that you’re installing the fc20-5 release:

      shell> sudo yum localinstall …

Installing Lighttpd With PHP5 (PHP-FPM) And MySQL Support On Fedora 19

Lighttpd is a secure, fast, standards-compliant web server designed for speed-critical environments. This tutorial shows how you can install Lighttpd on a Fedora 19 server with PHP5 support (through PHP-FPM) and MySQL support. PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation with some additional features useful for sites of any size, especially busier sites. I use PHP-FPM in this tutorial instead of Lighttpd's spawn-fcgi.

Installing Nginx With PHP5 (And PHP-FPM) And MySQL Support On Fedora 19

Nginx (pronounced "engine x") is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server. Nginx is known for its stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption. This tutorial shows how you can install Nginx on a Fedora 19 server with PHP5 support (through PHP-FPM) and MySQL support.

Installing Apache2 With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Fedora 19 (LAMP)

LAMP is short for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. This tutorial shows how you can install an Apache2 webserver on a Fedora 19 server with PHP5 support (mod_php) and MySQL support.

Today I downloaded Fedora 19 alpha to give it a spin. Some quick notes.

You can get MySQL by asking for the package community-mysql-server. This is 5.5.31. If you ask for stock “mysql” (i.e. yum install mysql-server), you automatically get MariaDB 5.5.30 (mariadb-server).

Fedora 19 runs systemd, so there is no longer /etc/init.d/mysql to start/stop/restart. So just do systemctl enable mysqld.service. Then perform: systemctl start mysqld.service. Replace start with: stop/status too. You can disable it too if you want.

MariaDB 10.0.2 compiles cleanly on Fedora 19 with gcc-4.8. Just perform: yum install bzr gzip tar gcc gcc-c++ make libtool bison ncurses-devel zlib-devel automake autoconf cmake. Get the source code (I just downloaded it). Do BUILD/compile-pentium64-max. Wait. Run make test. Enjoy. Refer to …

From https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-04-30_MariaDB, this installment of Fedora’s Test Day focuses on the replacement of MySQL with MariaDB. If you’re a Fedora (or RHEL or CentOS user), do take a peek at the page and see if you can pitch in – it might be a little bit of work for you, but with great benefits in terms of getting the MariaDB performance and features, and specifically on the day the Fedora crowd have extra people on the case to track and address issues you might find, so it’s an ideal opportunity to upgrade on a development or test-prod environment!

Installing Lighttpd With PHP5 (PHP-FPM) And MySQL Support On Fedora 18

Lighttpd is a secure, fast, standards-compliant web server designed for speed-critical environments. This tutorial shows how you can install Lighttpd on a Fedora 18 server with PHP5 support (through PHP-FPM) and MySQL support. PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation with some additional features useful for sites of any size, especially busier sites. I use PHP-FPM in this tutorial instead of Lighttpd's spawn-fcgi.
