MySQL Not Updating Using Custombuild

[open4biz]

Hi All,

In my custombuild.conf file, I selected MySQL 5.5. Then I followed these steps:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build all d

MySQL stays at version 5.1.#.

Am I missing a step to enable the upgrade to 5.5?

Thanks,

Ansel

Hello,

try simple,

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build set mysql_inst yes
./build set mysql_backup yes
./build mysql

If it fails, post here last 50 lines from your output.

And to be sure he will get the new MySQL version, remove the MySQL-******.tar.gz files

A big thank you, to both of you.

That was the special sauce I needed.

Thanks again,

Ansel

Hi All,

May I ask how generally stable is MySQL 5.5? After updating, it looks like the process crapped out on me this afternoon and I couldn't restart it. I had to reboot the server and then it came back up.

Are there any settings or tweaks I should consider to improve things? I used the above commands to install it and that's it.

You should NEVER have to reboot unless you are doing a kernel update. That is a typical windows user response.

Sure, you may. But you'd better visit dev.mysql.com

Read MySQL error logs for details.

Yep, caught.

Will do. Thanks again zEitEr.

Or updating libraries. While not strictly necessary, it would be nice if running daemons used the libraries you've just taken the time to update.
