Hi all,
I did a upgrade from 5.0 to 5.1 yesterday. And I paste some of my steps
on the following.
1. Use mysqldump to dump all the data to the disk.
2. Backup all the data including mysql system files to a safe place.
3. Remove all the file related to mysql.
4. Install the new 5.1 version.
5. Import the exist data into the new version.
I don't know whether the above is fit for you or not.

Hi
Thank you for the response, after reading a bit more about this, I
suspect you are right.
From what I can gather I need to do the following in order to use
this installation method:
- create a full backup of the old database and put in a safe
place.
- create a backup of the my.cnf file in a seperate directory
(in order to have access to the configuration to replicate details to
new database config).
- use package-manager (apt-get in this case) to remove current
version of MySQL that is running as well as all config files
and /etc/mysql dir
- setup new mysql version using the tar file
- start the new server and restore the backup.
- run mysql_upgrade in order to ensure all tables are well as
well as privilege tables.
Does this seem right to you guys?
Machiel

I suspect you need to have the new version running instead of the old
one, for the mysql_upgrade script to work.

HI Guys
I found some info regarding a method to upgrade mysql
databases.
Currently the version is at mysql-5.0.51a (as installed
via the
ubuntu-8.0.4 respository).
I downloaded the only version available from the web
(5.1.53)
that will work on ubuntu [except for source]. This is the binary
package
that need to be untarred into a directory and then the database
to be
initialized.
The option was was looking at was to do the following
(according
to some reccomendations)
- untar new version into seperate directory.
- keep the current version running.
- cd to /path/to/new/directory/bin
- ./mysql_upgrade -u root -p
Running this I get a couple of errors / warnings
though and
I am hoping that someone can provide me with some answers or
otherwise a
better way to do the upgrade.
