--with-openssl

If configure exit successfully build it and install:

make ; make install

Configure executables path. .bash_profile:

[...]
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/local/web/mysql5/bin
[...]

Configure libraries path. /etc/ld.so.conf

[...]

and update lib paths:

ldconfig

Add approriate system user mysql5 for mysql deamon.

/etc/passwd:

[...]
mysql5:x:98:98:Mysql:/usr/local/web/mysql5:/sbin/nologin
[...]

/etc/shadow:

[...]
mysql5:*:12764:0:99999:7:::
[...]

/etc/group:

[...]
mysql5:x:98:
[...]

Install initial database:

/usr/local/web/mysql5/bin/mysql_install_db

Change mysql binaries and data ownerships:

chown -R mysql5.mysql5 /usr/local/web/mysql5

Create symlink to start script:

ln -s /usr/local/web/mysql5/share/mysql/mysql.server /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql5

Start mysql5 service:

service mysql5 start

Setup root's password

/usr/local/web/mysql5/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-root-password'

Try to login to check if everything is OK:

[root@dev-2 mysql5]# /usr/local/web/mysql5/bin/mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
