I am trying to upgrade MySQL on CentOS 4.5 but having a hard time. I
need to go from MySQL 4.1 to 5. I downloaded the following two files:
mysql-server-5.0.58-1.el4.centos.i386.rpm
mysql-5.0.48-2.el4.centos.i386.rpm
I tried to do:
yum install mysql-server-5.0.58-1.el4.centos.i386.rpm
The command to use here would be rpm -Uvh, as these packages are not in
the yum system.
You would need to uninstall the current mysql first, however - and to
migrate any data, you need to use mysqldump --all --opt before that, and
then import it back after 5.x is installed.
Last time I checked, you could not use the same database files for
different major versions of MySQL - I could be wrong on this point, however.
