I don't want to use MySQL 4.1.X

But DirectAdmin will install it , how to downgrade ?
 
Easiest way is to just install the port, but it refuses to install because the server port finds the 4.1 client file and thorws up an error so you will need to do one of the following.

1 - Delete the 4.1 client lib or as much as 4.1 mysql as possible manually (recommended since leaves the system tidier and prevents future problems)

2 - Edit the Makefile so it doesnt do the check. This will need doing everytime cvsup replaces the file tho.

3 - Download the src and install manually on top of 4.1 (not reccomended)

I think because DA initially defaulted to 4.0 they should have an option for 4.0 to be used as many people may be used to 4.0 and will want all their server's setup the same and also people moving server's will want their new server to be identical to the old.
