Hi- Please forgive cross-post.
I have been using PHPTriad-installed Apache, PHP, and MySQL with no problems on Win98 machine. I want to upgrade MySQL from 3.23.something to 4.0.2 to use boolean fulltext search capabilities. I created a backup of my database and put it outside the C:\apache\mysql tree. I downloaded 4.0.2 the other day to my desktop. Extracted it to a desktop folder. Double clicked on setup.exe. (I had not started the old version of mysql). Nothing. 1. I had read that I did not have to uninstall the old version of mysql. Should I? 2. If I should uninstall, how do I do that if I had installed MySQL using PHPTriad, and PHPTriad is the only uninstall in the add/remove programs list? 3. (I fear that if I uninstall PHPTriad, it will uninstall PHP, and apache, which I don't want to do.) Is my fear correct? 4. I downloaded the cygwin downloads, thinking that may be the problem, but when I go to extract, I get an "error reading header" error. Is that the problem? Any help would be appreciated.
