Step3# running the following command to start MySQL service

#For CentOS 7 or RHEL 7

systemctl start mysql.service

#For CentOS 6.5 or RHEL 6.5

Step4# Enable MySQL service while system starts up by runnging the following command:

#For CentOS 7 or RHEL 7

systemctl enable mysql.service

#For CentOS 6.5 or RHEL 6.5

chkconfig mysqld on

Step5# start to run mysql secure installation To secure MySQL server, type the following command:

/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

Outputs:

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MySQL

      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MySQL to secure it, we\'ll need the current

password for the root user.  If you\'ve just installed MySQL, and

you haven\'t set the root password yet, the password will be blank,

so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none):

OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MySQL

root user without the proper authorisation.

Set root password? [Y/n] Y

New password:=====>"enter new password"

Re-enter new password:=====>"enter new password again"

Password updated successfully!

Reloading privilege tables..

... Success!

By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone

to log into MySQL without having to have a user account created for

them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation

go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a

production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y

... Success!

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.  This

ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] Y

... Success!

By default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can

access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed

before moving into a production environment.

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y

- Dropping test database...

... Success!

- Removing privileges on test database...

... Success!

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far

will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y

... Success!
Cleaning up...

All done!  If you\'ve completed all of the above steps, your MySQL

installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MySQL!

Step6# Log on MySQL server with root password created in above secure installation, type:

mysql -u root -p

Outputs:

[root@osetc Desktop]# mysql -u root -p

Enter password:
