Trying to install mysql-server on AWS EC2 Amazon Linux, but getting Problem: conflicting requests

Question

I am new to AWS, trying to setup MySQL on EC2. I enter sudo yum install mysql-server and this following error appears, with a lot more lines. Error: Problem: conflicting requests

• nothing provides libcrypto.so.10()(64bit) needed by mysql-community-server-8.0.11-1.el7.x86_64
• nothing provides libssl.so.10()(64bit) needed by mysql-community-server-8.0.11-1.el7.x86_64

I enter sudo yum install mysql-server to install mysql.

Answer 1

was having the same issue on AWS ec2, Performed the following steps:

1. Become the root.
2. Then vi /etc/yum.repos.d/mysql.repo and added

[mysql57-community]
name=MySQL 5.7 Community Server
baseurl=http://repo.mysql.com/yum/mysql-5.7-community/el/7/x86_64/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://repo.mysql.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql-2022

3. run rpm --import https://repo.mysql.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-mysql-2022
4. run yum install mysql-community-server
5. Finally, run systemctl start mysqld to start the server.

Hopefully, it helps!
