At first the only problem was mySQL password.

Errors say:

Enter current password for root (enter for none):
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
Enter current password for root (enter for none):

We tried to check for a solution online and followed this one: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=51981. However, another problem arise. Following that guide made all databases removed. Websites under it caused error in establishing connection in database.

So the next thing we thought to do is to remove mysql and reinstall it. However the error says:

Removing:
MySQL55-server x86_64 5.5.36-1.cp1136 installed 66 M

Transaction Summary

MySQL55-server-5.5.36-1.cp1136.x86_64 was supposed to be removed but is not!
Verifying : MySQL55-server-5.5.36-1.cp1136.x86_64 1/1

Failed:
MySQL55-server.x86_64 0:5.5.36-1.cp1136

So we used this guide http://www.linux-pages.com/2012/08/...t-file-was-supposed-to-be-removed-but-is-not/ and used this: yum --setopt=tsflags=noscripts remove MySQL55-server.x86_64. This did remove mysql successfully.

However, the problem now is that we can't reinstall mysql. The error now says:

root@host [~]# yum install mysql mysql-devel mysql-server
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirrors.loosefoot.com
* extras: mirrors.loosefoot.com
* updates: mirrors.loosefoot.com
Setting up Install Process

No package mysql-devel available.
No package mysql-server available.
Error: Nothing to do

Please help.
