I can't seem to find help for this in the docs or with the search engine. I am installing the new 4.x version an rather than run it over 3.23 I decided to erase the old packages first and start fresh. This is a RedHat Linux 7.1 box. I am using the RPMs to do this.
After erasing all RPMs from 3.23, I installed the RPMs for 4.xx... At the end of the process... It claims to attempt restarting MySQL, but then after a few seconds complains that the startup script in init.d did not exist. When I go to find MySQL, only pieces of it are there and none of the scripts necessary for initializing the database etc... I checked rpm and it claims the package is installed... (rpm -qa | grep MySQL) Frustrated, I started over and removed (rpm -e ... ) the package... Then installed (rpm -i) the old packages that had been working fine. I get the same result and broken installation. It seems that the RPM mechanism is hosed somehow. Question 1... Am I hosed? -- that is, has RPM somehow become so corrupted it just won't work anymore? Question 2... Is there anyway to get this working again without rebuilding the server from scratch?
