RE: upgrading mysql on RH fedora core 3
hey... i now have FC2 running mysql-4.1.10a, php5, apache 2.0.51. for some reason, the mysql rpms that i got from rpmfind.net/rpm.pbone, etc... didn't seem to work, as i kept getting weird lib related errors... i started using mysql-3.23 on FC2. i basically followed the path/instructions from http://www.whoopis.com/howtos/php5-mysql4-FC3-rpm.html, replacing my system/requirements where applicable. basic steps: 1) use 'rpm -qa | grep -i mysql' to get all rpms dealing with mysql 2) remove these rpms 'rpm -e ...' 3) get the replacement rpms from www.mysql.com 4) upgrade using 'rpm -Uvh ' 5) resolve any errors/issues... for my system, i only needed to focus on the mysql, as i already had php5 up/running. i chose this approach, as i didn't want to deal with rebuilding from source at this time. good luck!! -Original Message- From: Florin Andrei [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 8:40 PM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Re: upgrading mysql on RH fedora core 3 On Tue, 29 Mar 2005 19:28:56 -0800, bruce [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: we're trying to install mysql/mysql-server (4.1.10a-1.i386) and are running into some serious problems. we had mysql/server (3.23.52-3.i386) running, but needed to go to the higher version...

upgrading mysql on RH fedora core 3
hi... we're trying to install mysql/mysql-server (4.1.10a-1.i386) and are running into some serious problems. we had mysql/server (3.23.52-3.i386) running, but needed to go to the higher version... can someone tell us how/what we need to do to get this working correctly. actually, if anybody's managed to do this, can you tell us exactly what rpm packages you used? as you know, dealing with the rpms gets into dependency hell, which we believe has a lot to do with our issues... if you managed to get this version of mysql running on FC3, and you built it from source, can you provide directions/pointers on what you did, where you placed the resulting libs/etc... also, this has to be running with apache/php/perl/etc... thanks bruce -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

You may have to recompile php and Perl's DBI drivers, or you *may* be able to find some RPMs that will just 'drop in', but I don't use rpms so I couldn't say. The DBI drivers aren't marked as stable yet on my distro ( Gentoo ), so be careful there. If you use ODBC, you will have to upgrade to the latest version of MyODBC - which has some bugs so scan the MyODBC mailing list first. -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I was able to upgrade it using the rpm's from dev.mysql.com. I did notice one thing. The rpm install didn't seem to kill the old mysqld properly, so I got an access denied right after the install. I ran the following as root: #killall mysqld #service mysql start After that I was then able to connect just fine. As far as perl, php, and apache, everything will continue to work without modification if you continue to use the old password hashes. You can force this. Refer to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html, specifically the old-password option. To make perl work with the new passwords, all you need to do is build DBD::mysql from source. To do this, uninstall the dbd-mysql rpm if you have it installed. I can't remember the exact name because I don't use it. Then as root run: #perl -e shell -MCPAN cpaninstall DBD::mysql Regards, -- Tom Crimmins Interface Specialist Pottawattamie County, Iowa -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's just that i cannot try it, not today. I'll see if i can play with it tomorrow. Ideally, i'd like to get a spare system, nuke all it's content, do a fresh minimal install of FC3 (unselect all package categories except development), apply all updates (yum update), rebuild mysql-4, install it, then play with Perl and PHP and see if they need to be rebuilt as well (hopefully not). -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
