I have a problem installing MySQL 5.7.

I downloaded the file here with Windows and put it with ftp in the temp directory of my server, because wget always timed out.

Then I executed sudo dpkg -i /tmp/mysql-apt-config_0.7.3-1_all.deb.

I get Setting up mysql-apt-config (0.7.3-1) ..., but nothing else happens after that. I tried it already several times.

There are no other mysql packages installed on my server.

Are there any other ways to install MySQL 5.7? Everything I found on Google couldn't help me.

You are much better off using MySQL's apt repo. Here is a link to the download and there are instructions on setting it up on the page: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/

After that you can just run apt-get update && apt-get install mysql-server and be good to go.

  • I have downloaded it there and followed the instructions. It does not work! It fails while setting up – FloPinguin Jul 29 '16 at 8:59

You have already added the mysql repository to your sources.list (by runing dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.7.3-1_all.deb) , Just update and install it :

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install mysql-server

Edit

You can add manually the MySQL APT repository:

download the GPG key to your APT keyring directly using the apt-key utility:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 5072E1F5

Edit (create) the file named /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mysql.list, and put in the following format:

deb http://repo.mysql.com/apt/debian jessie mysql-5.7

Update and install it:

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get -f install

  • No, nothing gets added by running that command, because nothing happens after Setting up .... It is maybe an infinite loop? Now I added manually the line deb http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/apt/ mysql main in my sources.list, but now I get that error: pastebin.com/eG0YuWwQ – FloPinguin Jul 29 '16 at 9:30

I think my server has some problems with its internet connection. All connections to the MySQL repo do fail (that is a bit strange, because the connection to the official debian repository is working), so I downloaded the whole installation files (not the APT Repository) manually (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/) with a Windows computer and put them with FTP on the server. With some dependencie errors I finally got MySQL 5.7 installed.

Edit: Later I found out that my server had no IPv4 address...
