That would work, yes.
You could also try to upgrade in place - the upgrade scripts *should*
take care of everything between those versions, I think. Make sure you
have a backup in any case :-)

Hi All
Sorry for all my posts today but this one client is
keeping me
busy.
the version of MySQL installed on the ubuntu server is
5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.8-log as this was the latest one available in
the
repository.
We will need to upgrade this to version 5.1.53.
Am I correct in assuming the following steps?
1. setup version 5.1.53 on the machine (different
port)
2. shutdown the current database.
3. create backup file
4. restore backup
5. change port to 3306
6. startup new database.
7. disable the old database so that it would not
start
up during reboot.

Machiel
