How to use Percona with Virtualmin on Centos 6.4 or Debian 7

Hi there, does anyone know how to install Percona with Virtualmin on Centos 6.4 or Debian 7? I found a useful topic but is on Ubuntu (http://www.virtualmin.com/node/25916).

I tried to install Percona on Debian 7 but failed as it needs the package libc6 >=2.14, while the default libc6 in Wheezy is libc6 2.13-38. The libc6 in Jessie and Sid is 2.17. However, I don’t want to use Jessie or Sid considering stability.

I also tried Centos 6.4 (actually Centos is my first choice), but also failed. It shows the following errors:

Error: mysql conflicts with Percona-Server-client-55-5.5.31-rel30.3.520.rhel6.x86_64
Error: mysql-server conflicts with Percona-Server-server-55-5.5.31-rel30.3.520.rhel6.x86_64
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Please let me know how to fix the problem if anyone knows (perhaps there are also many guys want to know it).

Cheers!

Howdy,

According to the Percona site, Debian 7 should be supported… they have instructions on how to install it here:

Hi andreychek, thank you for your reply! Yes I actually followed the Percona site’s instructions before but failed. It’s because of the libc6 problem (need to >=2.14). Now I hope to find a way to install Percona smoothly on Debian 7 or Centos 6.4 if anyone could give a hand which would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Hi,

I’m running Percona Server 5.5.latest on Virtualmin on CentOS 6.4 x64:

  1. Install Virtualmin as default (with all php, mysql, etc stuff)
  2. rpm -e --nodeps mysql* (remove all packages, including mysq-libs)
  3. Install percona server:

#Repo install
rpm -Uhv http://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/percona-release-0.0-1.x86_64.rpm

Install

yum install Percona-Server-client-55 Percona-Server-server-55 Percona-Server-shared-55 Percona-Server-shared-compat

and you are done - the only problem, you will not be able to start/stop/restart Percona server from Webmin (Percona uses /etc/init.d/“mysql” instead of “mysqld” script, so webmin doesn’t know about that)…

Everything works fine.

Hi,

Try Creating a Softlink and it will be fine

[root@server15 init.d]# ln -s mysql mysqld [root@server15 init.d]# nano mysqld [root@server15 init.d]# service mysqld restart Shutting down MySQL (Percona Server)..... [ OK ] Starting MySQL (Percona Server).. [ OK ] [root@server15 init.d]#
