FATAL ERROR: please install the following Perl
modules before executing ./scripts/mysql_install_db:
Data::Dumper
Recently when I tried to install percona 5.6 MySQL on
a Amazon server, I was thrown with the below error,
[root@localhost mysql]# ./scripts/mysql_install_db --defaults-file=/etc/my.cnf --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql
FATAL ERROR: please install the following Perl modules before executing ./scripts/mysql_install_db:
Data::Dumper
[root@localhost mysql]#
Its due to the perl data dumper file missing. In order to solve the above issue we need to install
the missing dependencies as below,
yum install 'perl(Data::Dumper)'
[root@localhost]#
yum install 'perl(Data::Dumper)'
