Installing an old mysql into the latest centos is not the best way either. Why not installing the whole database into the new mysql? Unless it's using functions that are not available/compatible with mysql5, it will work OK.
Wrong. I'm running a public library management software that requires MySQL 4 and will not run on MySQL 5. The MySQL documentation also states that some functions in MySQL 5 are *not* backwards-compatible.
From what I've seen all these years, most of the time php and mysql bundled applications such as phpnuke, mambo, joomla, etc they all state: use mysql 'at least' version blabla. So the newer the mysql 'usually' the better.
It's the whole different thing regarding backward compatibility. Of course it's a pointless bad habit installing a web program that clearly states 'require at least mysql 5.x.x' into mysql 4.x.x :)
May I know the name of the library management program? KOHA?
