I am updating Mysql 5.5 to MYSQL 5.7 on Centos 6 server, but after the update the server does not start. I carried out the removal process of version 5.5 of MYSQL to perform update as indicated in several forums. I will unblock the entire process step by step with screenshot, to facilitate the identification of possible errors.
1 - I downloaded the Repo for E6 11.
wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el6-11.noarch.rpm
2 - I did the local installation
yum localinstall mysql57-community-release-el6-11.noarch.rpm
3 - I removed all previous packages from Mysql 5.7
yum remove mysql57-community-release-el6-11.noarch
yum remove compat-mysql51-5.1.73-1.el6.remi.x86_64
yum remove mysql-libs-5.5.57-1.el6.remi.x86_64
4 - I installed MYSQL 5.7
yum install mysql-community-server
5 - I restarted the MYSQL server 5.7
service mysqld restart
To try to solve the problem I tried the following procedures.
1.1 - I checked disk space
1.2 - I checked the output of my RPM
rpm -qa | grep MySQL
Tried to purge and reinstall?

Which command? Could explain better?

I can’t say what the equivalent is in Centos, but in Ubuntu it works like apt-get remove --purge mysql-server, I believe it should be the same thing, then reinstall the vs you want

In your opinion it might be some file that got corrupted at the time of removal of previous version of MYSQL?
– Renato Lazaro
Well that’s right, probably the uninstallation was not complete, or there was some service running on your system, so you can’t start the new version
