MySQL conflicts with mysql-3.23.41-1
Hello,
I am running RedHat 7.2 on a dedicated server. I was attempting to upgrade a program called Plesk which uses mysql. The Plesk upgrade installation installs/upgrades various rpms; however, when installing/upgrading the mysql rpms, the following error message: mysql-3.23.58-1.72.i386.rpm mysql-server-3.23.58-1.72.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: MySQL conflicts with mysql-3.23.58-1.72 MySQL-server conflicts with mysql-server-3.23.58-1.72 Here is what I have installed: MySQL-3.23.54a-2 MySQL-shared-3.23.54a-2 perl-DBD-MySQL-1.2216-4 MySQL-client-3.23.54a-2 MySQL-devel-3.23.54a-2 I quit the Plesk upgrade and decided search for tech help. I located an article which references the same conflict/problems with non-redhat version of MySQL being installed and redhat versions being upgraded. It informed me that MySQL was a non Redhat version (redhat version is titled mysql). Thinking I could just re-install the proper redhat version, I attempted to install mysql-3.23.58-1.72.i386.rpm but received the same error. I also attempted to install the mysql-3.23.41-1.i386.rpm from the install disk, same conflict. I used the following commands: rpm -U mysql-3.23.41-1.i386.rpm rpm -Uvv mysql-3.23.41-1.i386.rpm rpm -Uvv --force mysql-3.23.41-1.i386.rpm rpm -Ivv --force mysql-3.23.41-1.i386.rpm All received the same conflict message. I decided to check my version of MySql to verify it is a non-redhat version with command: rpm -qi MySQL Here are the results: [root@ns temp]# rpm -qi MySQL Name : MySQL Relocations: (not relocateable) Version : 3.23.54a Vendor: MySQL AB Release : 2 Build Date: Mon 23 Dec 2002 01:56:37 PM HST Install date: Tue 27 May 2003 12:20:45 PM HST Build Host: dialtone.com Group : Applications/Databases Source RPM: MySQL-3.23.54a-2.src.rpm Size : 19156260 License: GPL / LGPL Packager : Lenz Grimmer <lenz@mysql.com> URL mysql (removed URL due to first post) Summary : MySQL: a very fast and reliable SQL database engine Description : The MySQL(TM) software delivers a very fast, multi-threaded, multi-user, and robust SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. MySQL Server is intended for mission-critical, heavy-load production systems as well as for embedding into mass-deployed software. MySQL is a trademark of MySQL AB. MY PROBLEM: I need to install the redhat version of mysql and overwite the non-redhat versions. I also need to keep the current databases I am already using. Any ideas as to how to re-install the redhat versions over the existing MySQL versions? I thought of uninstalling all of mysql and re-installing the redhat version but I am new and do not know how to back-up the database files, users, etc and how to restore the all of the back-up information to the new mysql database. Any help is greatly appreciated!! :) Thank you in advance! |
