I runed the script from above, and mysql was updated to 4.1.16....

Which is just what it was supposed to do:

rpm -Uvh ./MySQL-server-4.1.16-1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh ./MySQL-client-4.1.16-1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh ./MySQL-devel-4.1.16-1.i386.rpm

I tried to upgrade to Mysql 4.1.16 from 4.0.26. At the end I get
No mysqld pid file found. Looked for /var/lib/mysql/X.X.X.pid

Mysql won't start.
How do I solve this? I have searched this forum for over an hour with no luck.

Do you get any error message(s) in /var/log/messages?

Hello,

If you get a missing pid file, then it might mean your hostname has recently changed. The pid file has the hostname in it, so once the hostname changes, mysql often has to be manually restarted, eg:

killall mysqld
killall -9 mysqld
killall -9 mysqld_safe
/sbin/service mysqld start

On a sidenote, to get phpinfo(); to show the new php version, you have to recompile php:http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=26
