I installed opentaps on ubuntu and I want to install mysql 5.1 version.

    MySQL 5.1 was end-of-lifed in 2013. While you might be able to find a package from https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/community/, it's highly inadvisable. – ceejayoz Jun 20 '22 at 19:45

  • Go to https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/community/
  • In the dropdown box, choose MySQL 5.1.73 from Nov 8, 2013.
  • Click Download for Linux - Generic (glibc 2.3) (x86, 64-bit), Compressed TAR Archive
  • cd to the downloads directory (I'll assume it's Downloads)
tar -zxf mysql-5.1.73-linux-x86_64-glibc23.tar.gz
cd mysql-5.1.73-linux-x86_64-glibc23

bin/mysqld with whatever options you prefer.

e.g.

export MYSQLDIR=Downloads/mysql-5.1.73-linux-x86_64-glibc23
scripts/mysql_install_db
sudo bin/mysqld --no-defaults --basedir=$HOME/$MYSQLDIR --datadir=$HOME/$MYSQLDIR/data --lower-case-table-names=1 --user=root

  • Thanks it works. How about starting from service. – Metin Bulak Jun 21 '22 at 12:43
  • I start mysql but I can not stop it. Can you help with creating a service and connecting to mysql? – Metin Bulak Jun 21 '22 at 19:50

    ```cd to the directory where you downloaded. To stop the server: bin/mysqladmin --user=root shutdown To start the client locally: (I assume you alread said sudo apt-get install libncursesw5) bin/mysql --user=root --host=127.0.0.1 To start mysqld when starting Ubuntu: I won't help with that. ``` – Peter Gulutzan Jun 21 '22 at 20:47
