centos用户登录到Amazon EC2服务器以后，sudo到root用户。

在CentOS7 AMI执行yum install mysql-server命令会发现无法安装mysql server。

因为，CentOS7的默认数据库是MariaDB。

1, 配置MySQL5.6的Repository

访问http://www.mysql.com/downloads/以后，点击「Downloads」→「Yum Repository」。

选择Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 / Oracle Linux 7 (Architecture Independent), RPM Package的「Download」

在这里会显示登录Oracle的页面，但是不必登录，拷贝No thanks, just start my download.的链接就可以。

拷贝的链接是：http://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-community-release-el7-5.noarch.rpm

配置MySQL5.6的yum源。

# rpm -ivh http://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-community-release-el7-5.noarch.rpm
Retrieving http://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-community-release-el7-5.noarch.rpm

   1:mysql-community-release-el7-5    ################################# [100%]

确认MySQL5.6yum源存在。

2, 安装MySQL

# yum install mysql-server

# mysql --version
mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.6.22, for Linux (x86_64) using  EditLine wrapper

成功的在Amazon CentOS7 AMI上安装了MySQL5.6.22。

小结

CentOS7，好像有不少改变呀。好像service命令变为systemctl命令了。

# service mysqld stop
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl stop  mysqld.service
