bob... trying to mix/match rpms for different apps can have wierd results sometimes... if you're just using mysql, as a stand alone app, you could grab the latest with no problems.. but if you're running apache with php/mysql functionality linked into the server, you need to be careful. ultimately, you're probably going to run into a situation where you need to build php-mysql in order to get the 'right' situation to work. if you're going to run at a given version of php then you should be ok. if, on the other hand, you mix versions, then you might have some issues. this could come into effect if you have the mysql server on one box, but you have php and mysql libs on another box with a different version of php/mysql. so, be careful... -bruce -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Bob Hartung Sent: Sunday, June 05, 2005 5:46 PM To: fedora-list Subject: mysql version in FC3 Hi all, I am stumbling around trying to learn PHP & MySQL. FC3, as of the latest updates, is using mysql-server-3.23.58-16, etc. I note that the recommended version to use, according to the MySQL site is 4.11. I see no identifiable RPMs for FC3 with this version numbering. Is there a reason for the delay in updating MySQL RPMs for FC3 or should I just go ahead to rpmfind.net and grab the 4.11 versions that are just listed as being for Fedora Core (version not specified). Note that the older RPMs are listed as specifically for FC3. This is a little confusing to me. My tutorial is all based on MySQL ver. >4.
