MySql 4.0 upgrade

[Chris Wilson]

I just did want you want to do and everything is running fine.  There are
a couple things I had to do, however.

The service name is mysql instead of mysqld.

I also had to change

pid_file=

to

pid_file=/var/lib/mysql/localhost.pid

in /etc/init.d/mysql because it wouldn't shut itself down without this.

So, the path is /var/lib/mysql/

I also ran mysql_fix_privilege_tables as was mentioned in the install output.

Hope that helps.
