How to install MySQL on FreeBSD 7.2 or on Red Hat 5.4?
FreeBSD
There are two easy ways on FreeBSD:
From Ports
You can install easily from Ports. Make sure your ports tree is up to date:
$ su Password:
ServerName# ServerName#
ServerName#
portsnap fetch portsnap extract
portsnap udpate
Then just do this to install MySQL on FreeBSD.
ServerName# ServerName#
cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql51-server make install
Or if you want to use utf8 by default, run this command:
ServerName# make WITH_CHARSET=utf8 install MySQL 5.1 Server (and MySQL 5.1 client) will download, compile, and install automagically for you.
From Packages
You can also install easily as a binary package with this simple command.
ServerName# pkg_add -r mysql51-server
Make sure to secure you MySQL installation.

Red Hat
Using RPM
You have to go to the MySQL site and download the MySQL 5.1 server RPM and install it.
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/It does not automatically install the MySQL client, you have to download that as a separate RPM and install it.
Using yum
Since I didn’t have a MySQL license, yum didn’t work, so I don’t know if it can be installed using yum.
Make sure to secure you MySQL installation.

You can also install MySQL using the WITH_CHARSET=utf8 option to have it set utf8 as the default during the installation. a bit less work than adding the lines to the config manually =)
Jon,
Thanks. That is good to know! I will try to add this up in the notes.
