Upgrade MySQL 4.1.x

[czotos]

Current OS: Debian 4.0 (Etch)
Current MySQL Version: 4.1.10
Initial Install Method: Customapache

I want to upgrade from MySQL 4.1.10 to the latest version, which is currently 4.1.22.

Can someone please provide precise instructions/steps for the upgrade process??

Thanks in advance.

Use custombuild there is a section on the forums here how to use it.

Will Custombuild break anything on my existing Customapache system?

In other words, is it possible to suddenly switch-over from Customapache to Custombuild?

I tried using Custombuild and it somehow broke my installation of Apache 1.3.x, PHP 5.2.x and MySQL 4.1.x.

I managed to restore Apache and PHP using the good old Customapache method, which means I am back online and operational again - but unfortunately, my version of MySQL is still stuck at 4.1.10.

Is there perhaps a manual method to upgrade my version of MySQL 4.1.10 to 4.1.22??

I'm sure it's a couple of simple steps, like...

1) Download tar.gz file from mysql.com site.
2) Untar the file in a certain directory.
3) Run some form of make or similar.
4) Rebuild the links to mysql/mysqld binaries.
5) Restart MySQL

Is there anyone that can help me?

We've had no problems converting from CustomApache to CustomBuild, we do NOT make any changes to current versions as we do so.

After we finish the conversion we consider what we wish to upgrade.

That works for us.
