removing mysql

[paysite-cash]

Hello

we want to remove mysql from a server which will run only httpd.

it is a problem with cpanel ? cpbackup put an error message but it seems to work

on 1 server removing the service from cpanel desactivated well cpanel but on another it is still running... how to remove mysql to start ?

[vanessa]

rpm -qa |grep -i mysql

then 'rpm-i' to remove all the mysql binaries. Then:

rm -rf /var/lib/mysql

touch /etc/mysqlupdisable
touch /etc/mysqldisable

(the above keeps cpanel from trying to reinstall it during updates)

And disable mysql from chkservd by going into WHM > service manager

it is not needed by cpanel for sure ? what about php/apache it don't need some libs which are included in mysql packages ?
