I am getting ready to try to upgrade MySQL on my RedHat 9 box. I want to go from the version that came with the distro (version 3.23.54) to the latest (verion 4.0).
Just thought I'd post to get a heads-up on any known issues or prerequisites. I just hate it when I try something like this and screw up my whole installation.
My planned steps are to:
1. mysqldump everything to a backup file 2. stop the service 3. uninstall all the current rpm's 4. install the fresh rpm's 5. startup 6. \. the file from step 1
Anything I need to lookout for?
That should work, but after you install the new RPM files, use
chkconfig --list mysql
to make sure that the server is set to start on runlevels 2 through 5. If it's not, use:
chkconfig --levels 2345 mysql on
Otherwise, the server won't start automatically at system boot time.
This problem has been seen on RH 8 and RH 9. I understand it's been fixed now, but I'm not sure if the fix is in the current release or the next one.
Thanks. Andrew
