[gentoo-user] Problems Upgrading to Slotted MYSQL
I presented this problem on the forums and have made no head way so I present it here to see if I can find a solution. I am going to ask a real stupid question here so bear with me. I currently have mysql 5.0.18 installed and am trying to upgrade to the slotted version 5.0.18-r30. I am following the upgrade guide found at: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mysql-upgrade-slotted.xml I am having trouble at step 3 Important: If you are upgrading between version revisions (ie. dev-db/mysql-5.0.18 to dev-db/mysql-5.0.18-r30), you can simply stop the database, move from one data directry to the other, and restart the server. This allows you to skip this section entirely. Can somebody please tell me how I "move from one data directry to the other." I am not quite sure what that means or how to do it. Thanks. Somebody on the forums asked if I copied the contents of /var/lib/mysql to /var/lib/mysql-500. I tried this but then mysql-500 failed to start like the procedure said. The error I got in the log was; In the /var/log/mysql-500/mysqld.err 060205 13:01:32 [Warning] No argument was provided to --log-bin, and --log-bin-index was not used; so replication may break when this MySQL server acts as a master and has his hostname changed!! Please use '--log-bin=host-bin' to avoid this problem. /usr/sbin/mysqld-500: File './host-bin.index' not found (Errcode: 13) 060205 13:01:32 [ERROR] Aborting 060205 13:01:32 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld-500: Shutdown complete So now where do I go and what do I do?

I am assuming the kernel is built with JFS support compiled in and not as a module.

What do I have to do on my Gentoo AMD64 machine with a working CUPS printer to share it with other Gentoo desktop machines here at home? I have a working CUPS printer on my machine. I want to print to it from my wife and son's machines. I've been trying to figure out how to set that up but cannot get the right configuration. It seems that the Gentoo Printing Guide is somewhat silent on this. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml On the machine with the printer I've done what I think the guide has asked for, modified for my network IP addresses: Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1 Allow From 192.168.1.* Port 631 (make sure the next two lines are commented out) #Listen 127.0.0.1:631 #Listen localhost:631 Maybe port 631 will work here, I have it set to Listen *.631 At this point I believe I'm supposed to set up IPP printing on the remote machines but everything I've tried there results in messages about the printer not being found, not responding, not existing, etc. I'm telling CUPS that it's an IPP printer and trying addresses like: ipp://lightning/ipp ipp://lightning/ipp/port1 etc. On the client mahines you want to comment out the listen localhost:631 line in cupsd.conf. Then you want to make a file in /etc/cups called client.conf. Insert in it ServerName * Add whatever the name or ip address of the server machine is. Somewhere I read that you have to use the server name as defined in /etc/host, you might have to add it to the file if you haven't done this all ready.

I guess you can print a test page from within the CUPS manager on the client? I never tried to print a test page from the client CUPS manager, but I could print from the webbrowser which is what I was going for. I personally can't even get to the CUPS manager in the client machine since the Listen localhost:631 has been commented out so there is no manager to get to. Your seeing the printer though.
