Re: upgrading from mysql 4 to 5 on fc4

Thanks for the advise, I have done custom compiles of apache and php before so to compile mysql 5 from scratch doesnt bother me to much, it's just beaking the dependecies, that concerns me ...

I would have bothered with the upgrade if it wasnt for the fact that my hosing provider is using 5. 

 

 

Thanks will look into your advice hope you have a grate day.

Dump your database BEFORE the upgrade.

Document all the requirements of your current MySQL environment --
php, perl, etc etc.

You can probably use this out of development (I use it everyday
without any issue) -
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/mysql-5.0.18-1.i386.rpm

However, if you want to standardized migration then use the download
rpms for source off the MySQL site and rebuild all the code yourself:
MySQL Apache and PHP (and Perl BD requirements, etc.)

Building from source at times seems a hard task but is quite easy once
you get the hang of it.  Probably better to just download the FC rpms
if you are not completely sure.
