Hi,
I am a novice to linux.. Could someone point me in the right direction to upgrating mysql-server to version 4.
Thanks,
Alex
www.mysql.com has well written documents on how to upgrade/install.
Unfortunately it is not as easy as "yum".

Mysql.com has mysql4 rpm's. You can install these, but you will have to recompile to following rpm's from the original redhat/centos source rpm to work with mysql4: perl-DBD-MySQL libdbi-dbd-mysql libdbi MyODBC MySQL-python
It did it once on a RH ES3 box.

add to that list php and qt, and associated rpms.

Actually mysql 3 clients should work fine with mysql 4 servers. So if you rpm -i --replacefiles (rather than rpm -U) the mysql4 rpms, thus leaving both sets of the libraries intact, you may be able to run the new server without rebuilding any of the other packages.
However, I haven't tried that myself, and rebuilding the packages is preferable.
I run mysql 4.0 series rpms from mysql on my centos boxes. I've added them to my local yum repository, and have yet had to recompile other rpms for that reason. Install MySQL-shared-compat instead of MySQL-shared, as the compat package contains all the new libraries, as well as previous versions, for backward compatability.
The MySQL official rpms are not exactly the same as Centos or RedHats, so you'll need to check out /etc/my.cnf, ensure log rotation, and that kind of thing. I've also been told, but have no basis for comparison, that the official MySQL rpms are some considerable faster.
All that being said, AFAIK, you'll have to recompile various RPMS if you want 4.x functionality like ssl connections, provided that the package in question supports the feature that you're after.
Hope this helps,

You can, and we have on two RHES3 production machines -- because of all the interdependancies on the shared libs, it's easier to simply install all the client RPMs, untarball the 4.x server into a location and run the install scripts, etc. It will read your /etc/my.cnf and make the libs over in /var/lib/mysql and so forth - a few minor mods to the init.d mysql script and you're done.
This mixed mode has been running like a champ, no problems.

I have all the SRPMS and RPMS required to install MySQL 4.1.7 here:

Here is a quick guide that installed MySQL 4.1.7, PHP 5.0.2, and Apache 2.0.52.
