How to install MySQL 5.7.9?


random1

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to fresh install the latest version of MySQL manually.

 

When I download it from mysql.com I get the file "mysql-5.7.9-winx64.zip", but unlike previous versions it has no "data" folder and a near empty "my.ini" file.

 

Could someone more learned let me know what is going on with this?

Thanks :D

 

I ended up doing the following...
 
1) Stop MySQL Service
 
2) Initialize default mysql database ("data" folder) using command line
mysqld.exe --initialize --user=mysql
 
3) Run (start) MySQL with passwords disabled
mysqld.exe -u mysql --skip-grant-tables
 
4) Manually edit `mysql`.`user` table passwords
