如果是采用二进制包安装的MySQL,那么你用下面命令是找不到任何MySQL组件的。所以如果你不知道MySQL的安装方式,千万不要用下面命令来判别是否安装了MySQL
rpm -qa | grep -i mysql
1、检查MySQL服务并关闭服务进程
[root@DB-Server init.d]# ps -ef | grep mysql
root 4752 4302 0 22:55 pts/1 00:00:00 more /etc/init.d/mysql.server
root 7176 1 0 23:23 pts/1 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data --pid-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/DB-Server.localdomain.pid
mysql 7269 7176 15 23:23 pts/1 00:00:01 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data --plugin-dir=/usr/local/mysql/lib/plugin --user=mysql --log-error=/usr/local/mysql/data/DB-Server.localdomain.err --pid-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/DB-Server.localdomain.pid
root 7321 4302 0 23:23 pts/1 00:00:00 grep mysql
[root@DB-Server init.d]# /etc/init.d/mysql.server statu
MySQL running (7269)[ OK ]
[root@DB-Server init.d]# /etc/init.d/mysql.server stop
Shutting down MySQL..[ OK ]
[root@DB-Server init.d]# /etc/init.d/mysql.server status
MySQL is not running[FAILED]
[root@DB-Server init.d]#
2.查找MySQL的安装目录并彻底删除
[root@DB-Server init.d]# whereis mysql
mysql: /usr/local/mysql
[root@DB-Server init.d]# find / -name mysql
/var/spool/mail/mysql
/usr/local/mysql-5.7.5-m15-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64/include/mysql
/usr/local/mysql-5.7.5-m15-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64/bin/mysql
/usr/local/mysql-5.7.5-m15-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64/data/mysql
/usr/local/mysql
[root@DB-Server init.d]# rm -rf /usr/local/mysql-5.7.5-m15-linux-glibc2.5-x86_64/
[root@DB-Server init.d]# rm -rf /usr/local/
[root@DB-Server init.d]# rm -rf /var/spool/mail/mysql
[root@DB-Server init.d]#
3、 删除一些配置文件
配置文件一般有/etc/my.cnf 或/etc/init.d/mysql.server,视具体安装配置情况而定。
4、删除MySQL用户以及用户组
[root@DB-Server ~]# id mysql
uid=101(mysql) gid=501(mysql) groups=501(mysql) context=root:system_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh
[root@DB-Server ~]# userdel mysql
