Upgrading MySQL version 3 to 4 RedHat / Fedora
Hi all
Any one had problems upgrading MySQL from 3 to 4 :confused: I came across this page http://fedoranews.org/contributors/tony_smith/mysql/ Is the old version of MySQL have to be removed before installing newer version :confused: TT |
No, you can upgrade from 3.x to 4.x without having to remove the 3.x rpms but I suggest you back up your databases (if you have any) before doing the actual upgrade.

Hi all
MySQL seem to install ok but i have a question what is the GRANT command i have been looking every where and i cant seem to find it Code:
NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run |
The GRANT command is used in MySQL to set users' privileges. Just make sure you run that mysql_fix_privilege_tables script and you should be OK.

I did run what i think i had to run and got an error
Code:
[root@rockinghamgateway downloads]# /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables does that look right i dont mine learning how to do it. do i need to run database install command then add in root user pass etc I hope you get my dift, i keep my own little forum full of notes but its down right now due to me upgrading from 3 to 4, so i cant remember the command off the top of my head.

This is what i meant i findly remember it
/usr/bin/mysql_install_db but this gave me an error and its asking me to copy files to another dir Code:
Installing all prepared tables I found where the files may be [root@localhost bin]# whereis support-files/mysql.server mysql: /usr/lib/mysql /usr/share/mysql where do i copy them too ? :confused: TT |
