1.安装：#yum -y install mysql-server
2.修改配置：#vi /etc/my.cnf
暂时修改一下编码(添加在密码下方添加): default-character-set = utf8
# chkconfig mysqld on ← 设置MySQL服务随系统启动自启动
# chkconfig –list mysqld ← 确认MySQL自启动mysqld 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off ← 如果2–5为on的状态就OK
#service mysqld start （# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start也可以）
mysql -uroot -p
select user,host,password from mysql.user
update mysql.user set password=password(‘123456‘) where user=‘root‘;
select user,host,password from mysql.user;
exit
