Install Mysql 5.5 on RHEL/CentOS 5/6/7
1. Use Repository
First, to set up the yum repository, install the mysql－community-server 5.5 RPM based on your CentOS/RHEL release:
mysql-server-5.5.repo for CentOS/RHEL 5.x
rpm -Uvh http://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el5/latest.rpm
* Only Install MySQL 5.5 On CentOS 5.x
If you already have MySql client or server installed (rpm -q mysql mysql-server), then you can upgrade using the following method:
yum install mysql.`uname -i` yum-plugin-replace
yum replace mysql --replace-with mysql55w
“yum install mysql” is only there to make sure yum-plugin-replace can resolve dependencies correctly if only mysql-server was installed. Otherwise, to install MySql client and server, then run:
yum install mysql55w mysql55w-server

yum remove -y mysql-server
yum remove -y mysql*
If you don't have mysql-server was installed. Otherwise, to install MySql client and server, then run:
yum install -y mysql-community-server
3. Service Configure
You should upgrade existing tables before setting the server to become a production machine, which can be done by starting the server and running the mysql_upgrade script (this may take time depending on the size of the database).
service mysqld start
This will issue a password prompt for the user. If you don't have a root user password, remove the "-p"
