I have been asked to upgrade the Mysql rpm's on one our Redhat version 3
machines and wanted to now the best way of doing this. Should I use the rpm
erase option then the rpm install option or can i just use the upgrade or
Freshen options. Any advice on the best way of doing this would be much
appreciated. If you have done this before what command did you use. The
rpm's I am upgrading too are below.
MySQL-server-community-5.1.22-0.rhel3.i386.rpm
MySQL-client-community-5.1.22-0.rhel3.i386.rpm
I've done two or three LAMP server upgrades from RHEL3/4 -> RHEL4/5 and
by this procedure mysql was also updated. An other upgrade was done with
a new hardware, so I had only to copy the "old" mysql database files
from /var/lib/mysql to the new server.
The only problem I(!) was faced with was the password encryption
setting, as this was changed from some version of mysql to the next one.
my.cnf
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1
I don't know why you have to upgrade only mysql as upgrading only one
app may breake some other dependecies, so test this good on a test
system and make backups ... :-) (and may be installing mysql 5.1 on
RHEL3 will not be certified and you will be in trouble if you pay for
support)
