MySQL 5.1

Is there any way to upgrade to mysql 5.1?

InterWorx will support any version of MySQL that is installed, however, it’s up to you to upgrade MySQL to a different version if the one that comes with your base OS isn’t the version you want to use.

You can install any way you like. MySQL provides compatible RPMs that generally make installing pretty easy.

Would I have to remove / install MySql or can I just upgrade it?

You’d want to just upgrade.

I wanted to upgrade to 5.1 also… I tried this but I get errors about php then… sigh.

[root@gonzo downloads]# rpm -Uvh MySQL-server-community-5.1.30-0.rhel4.i386.rpm
warning: MySQL-server-community-5.1.30-0.rhel4.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f5

libmysqlclient.so.14 is needed by (installed) php-mysql-4.3.11-100.rhe4x.iworx.i386

Do you guys have a way to update easy? I hate dealing with php.

Thanks,

Nevermind, I figured it out. Here’s how I installed php & mysql updates. They aren’t the newest, but it’s better.

  1. yum install yum-plugin-priorities
  2. nano /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo

Add this to [base]:
exclude=php* httpd* postgres* MySQL* mysql* perl perl-DBD-MySQL perl-DBD-Pg perl-DBI perl-suidperl unixODBC* mod_auth_mysql mod_auth_pgsql mod_perl mod_perl-devel mod_ssl

Add this to [update]:
exclude=php* httpd* postgres* MySQL* mysql* perl perl-DBD-MySQL perl-DBD-Pg perl-DBI perl-suidperl unixODBC* mod_auth_mysql mod_auth_pgsql mod_perl mod_perl-devel mod_ssl

Under [centosplus], enable it “enabled=1”

  1. yum update php* mysql-server
  2. apachectl restart
  3. back in: nano /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo, I disabled centosplus…

done.

Afraid I’m using RHEL 5.2 lol. So the above won’t work for me.
