In CentOS7, can not start MySQL

Question

I need to use MySQL on CentOS7. I have installed MySQL package using yum.

[root@node01 ~]# yum install mysql mysql-*

Then,

[root@node01 ~]# systemctl start mysqld.service
Failed to issue method call: Unit mysqld.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

I can not execute MySQL. How can I solve this issue?

Answer 1

When you execute

yum install mysql

The command by default it installs mariadb, not mysql. so try this below command

yum list installed | grep mariadb

If mariadb-server is missing you can try this below command.

yum install mariadb-server

It will install the server package then start the service.

systemctl start mariadb

or

service mariadb start

My issue got solved in this way.
