Just wondering how to install MySQL enterprise 5.7 version using RPM install method with custom paths.
1. Default installation look like below. When I do installation using rpm, we don’t full control on customizing the paths. understood it involvs effort to customize them post install method.
root 3486 1 0 15:27 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/mysqld\_safe --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/node01.pid
mysql 3573 3486 1 15:27 pts/0 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --plugin-dir=/usr/lib64/mysql/plugin --user=mysql --log-error=node01.err --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/node01.pid
1. If we have to modify all the paths manually what about service file in /etc/init.d. I feel customizing the paths effects the usage of mysql services file
Question: Is there any way to install mysql enterprise version of mysql using rpms with custom paths? which I think reduce the effort of post customization. Atleast one level.
Regards,
Venu

Venu,
For the help with MySQL Enterprise I suggest you contact Oracle support, it is included with their Enterprise products
