Finally I have an erroneous /etc/hosts file. But aside from that what of the realeses is best suited for a CentOS 4.4 Double Pentium III 1.0 Ghz?
* Linux (x86, glibc-2.2, "standard" is static, gcc): mysql-standard-5.0.24a-linux-i686.tar.gz * Linux (x86): mysql-standard-5.0.24a-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz The first is compiled statically with glibc-2.2 and the second is compiled dinamically against glibc-2.3. CentOS 4.4 uses glibc-2.3. Then which is the best suited? For update is more easier using rpm relases but If I want to downgrade to the previous version I only have to change the symbolic link mysql in /usr/local/mysql to the directory of the previous version if I use binary instead of rpm releases. That works because I use another director for data thant /usr/local/mysql/data. Could I do these with rpm? -----Mensaje original----- De: Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: viernes, 22 de septiembre de 2006 2:19 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: MySql Mail List Asunto: Re: What mysql 5.0 binary relase use for CentOS 4.4 Pentium?

The downside is that you cannot use hostnames in the grant tables: except for localhost, you must use IP numbers instead. If you are using an old version of MySQL that does not support --force, you must manually remove the resolveip test in mysql_install using a text editor. Basically your DNS is stuffed and mysql can't look up hostnames. Why aren't you using the rpms? They are much easier to deal with when it comes time to upgrade. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
