hey... i now have FC2 running mysql-4.1.10a, php5, apache 2.0.51.
for some reason, the mysql rpms that i got from rpmfind.net/rpm.pbone, etc... didn't seem to work, as i kept getting weird lib related errors... i started using mysql-3.23 on FC2. i basically followed the path/instructions from http://www.whoopis.com/howtos/php5-mysql4-FC3-rpm.html, replacing my system/requirements where applicable. basic steps: 1) use 'rpm -qa | grep -i mysql' to get all rpms dealing with mysql 2) remove these rpms 'rpm -e ...' 3) get the replacement rpms from www.mysql.com 4) upgrade using 'rpm -Uvh ....' 5) resolve any errors/issues... for my system, i only needed to focus on the mysql, as i already had php5 up/running. i chose this approach, as i didn't want to deal with rebuilding from source at this time. good luck!! -----Original Message----- From: Florin Andrei [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 8:40 PM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Re: upgrading mysql on RH fedora core 3 On Tue, 29 Mar 2005 19:28:56 -0800, bruce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > we're trying to install mysql/mysql-server (4.1.10a-1.i386) and are running > into some serious problems. we had mysql/server (3.23.52-3.i386) running, > but needed to go to the higher version... I was about to attempt the same thing. My thinking was to grab the mysql src.rpm from Fedora Core 4 test 1 and rebuild it on FC3: rpmbuild --rebuild mysql.......src.rpm Please try that and see how it goes. > also, this has to be running with apache/php/perl/etc... My feeling is that apache does not need to be rebuilt. PHP certainly does, from src.rpm, after the new mysql is installed (including mysql-devel). I am not sure whether it would just work to grab the PHP src.rpm from FC3 updates and rebuild it on top of the new mysql, or get the PHP src.rpm from FC4-test and rebuild. Perl is in the same situation, but it's probably even more complex. If i were you, i would probably post on the fedora-test mailing list and ask the same question. Anyway, good luck and let us know how it goes. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
