I think yum
is having problems installing MySQL 5.1 because there is already a pre-existing MySQL 5.5 installation.
I wanted to cleanly remove MySQL 5.5 (I had problems with 5.5 with PHP and Python).
I removed every folder and file associated with MySQL 5.5:
yum remove mysql-server
rm -i /usr/bin/mysq*
rm -R /var/lib/mysql/ /usr/share/mysql/ /usr/lib64/mysql/ /usr/include/mysql/
I type find / -name mysql
and I get
/usr/lib64/perl5/auto/DBD/mysql
/usr/lib64/perl5/DBD/mysql
Now when I try yum install mysql-server.x86_64
I get the following error:
Loaded plugins: downloadonly, fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
