How to Downgrade from 5x ?

[servertweak]

customer like to downgrade from mysql 5x to 4x , running centos 4.2 64bit with DA 64bit

I'm in the same position too. A lot of my clients use Invisionboard 1.3 - but it's not supported past MySQL 4.0.x ( might work with 4.1.x ).

I would like to do the same too.

this is what i got from DA


Hello,

Same story as for 4.1.

Note, the data will be wiped out, so he'll need to have backups.

Thank you,

Weird.

I'm getting these errors now. And NOT FINDING /var/log/hostname.host.com.pid file.

I'd used the 64bit version of DA on Opteron structure. Do I need to get 64bit RPMs of mysql ?

hehe :blush: --- I was right. I was installing the wrong set of RPMs. If you use the 64bit system it should be alright.
