MySQL 4.0.21 was released

l0rdphi1's MySQL update tool for Redhat
Code: 
wget [url]http://www.l0rdphi1.com/tools/update.mysql.sh[/url]
sh update.mysql.sh

My update tool for FreeBSD 4.x
Code: 
fetch [url]http://www.saevian.com/da_tools/update.mysql.sh[/url]
chmod 755 update.mysql.sh
./update.mysql.sh
 
The update script doesn't work for me:

Is there any update on this? I would like to install the latest mysql version but the developers script doesn't appear to work.

I have not tested this script with MySQL 2.1.x and doubt it will work if there have been critical changes to the way binaries are released. I'll play around with it when I get some free time (when I get my toy server setup again)

In the mean time I updated the script with a couple of modifications. Nothing major though. I have successfully upgraded from mysql 2.0.22 to 2.0.23 on FreeBSD 4.10
 
Thanks, Jon!

I upgraded effortlessly from mysql 4.0.17 to 4.0.23 on FreeBSD 4.9.

Three simple commands and 30 seconds did the trick!
 
I think that is the problem, the tool is written for FreeBSD 4.x

Are ther more, that upgrade with out any problem? I always wait a few day's that I know for sure, it works ;)

This script does not support the 5.x line of FreeBSD because MySQL AB has not begun releasing optimized binaries for it. It must be compiled from source. I have been playing with a script to download, configure and build but I'm afraid its not worth it since so many things can go wrong during a build it would be easier to run the commands one by one and fix any errors as they happen.

Just updated the mysql server tonight. Seems like the mirror site was failing.

One thing I noticed was two instances of the mysql start up script - the old one mysqld and the new mysqld. I deleted the old and renamed the new mysqld.

This was in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ & /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/

Thanks

MySQL guys recommend using ports to install MySQL. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/freebsd.html

The easiest (and preferred) way to install MySQL is to use the mysql-server and mysql-client ports available at http://www.freebsd.org/. Using these ports gives you the following benefits:
A working MySQL with all optimizations enabled that are known to work on your version of FreeBSD.

Automatic configuration and build.

Startup scripts installed in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.

The ability to use pkg_info -L to see which files are installed.

The ability to use pkg_delete to remove MySQL if you no longer want it on your machine.
Click to expand...
 
To install from ports, what customisations need to be made? I mean, I know that the MySQL data is stored in /home/mysql as opposed to the normal location(s).

Are there any special instructions anybody can advise?

Thanks in advance.
