Hi All,
Could anyone tell me, how to correctly install MySQL4.1 on Centos 5 ? By default Centos 5 comes with mysql5… If I will compile mysql4 from sources to separate prefix, some features may be unavailable (unix sockets for example).
I’m moving some critical application (online booking) based on java, tomcat5, mysql4.1 from old server fedora 4 to new server running Centos 5. So, I don’t want update mysql to new version this time.
In the time it takes you to figure out how to cleanly install MySQL 4.1 on CentOS 5 you could just use the included MySQL 5 and do some extensive tests to ensure that nothing breaks. You're going to have to do the testing for the 4.1 on CentOS so you may as well do the upgrade and be done with it, assuming that you ignore the advice to load CentOS 4 -- which already has the testing for MySQL 4.1 done.
