Re: Upgrading MySQL from 3.23 to 4.1 on RHEL3 ES

[Jason Pyeron <jpyeron pdinc us>]

I brought this up on the list a month ago, the solution rpms are up on our
web site.

you need the compat rpms.

http://public.pdinc.us/rpms/mysql


rpm -Uvh MySQL-shared-3.23.58-1-compat-1-2.i386.rpm \
MySQL-shared-4.0.22-0-compat-1-2.rhel.i386.rpm \
MySQL-server-standard-4.1.12-0.rhel3.i386.rpm
