Hi. I've happily been running MySQL 4.1 on my CentOS 4.1 x86_64 server. But I need to upgrade to MySQL 5. Any recommendations on how to accomplish this without too much pain? I guess I'll need to get RPMs from the MySQL website.
Br,
Morten

Give the centosplus packages a try. I think you can get MySQL 5 there.

Hi -
I've been running MySQL 5.0.22 out of centosplus/ for a long while now, in production. I've had no problems with it.
As always, back up your data, and simply rpm -Uvh it. You should have no problems.
Now, if you're talking a 3.x -> 5.x upgrade - I did that a short while ago. Let's just say that it's not fun :)
Thanks, and good luck -dant

You may want to check the centos testing repo - I *think* it may have it in there already. The name of the actual repo escapes me at the moment though.

These RPMS are available in the centosplus repository. Make sure you take a mysqldump of your existing DB first before the upgrade as a precaution, but it should be a smooth transition.
yum --enablerepo centosplus install mysql (and mysql-server or whatever else you want) should be all you need.
