Hi all,
I wonder how do I upgrade from php4 & mysql4 (default that come with DA) to MYSQL5 (not loosing the DB DATA) & PHP5.
Thanks.
 
both upgrades have been covered.
Summary: php4->5 Just incompatibilites with older scripts
Mysql4 -> 5
You will need to enable old_passwords after the upgrade or readd all passwords using the new encryption.



*tempted to use my tired of searching page* :p
 
Thanks upgraded to PHP5. :)
The mysql 5 document is talking about upgrading using RPMS. I'am on DEBIAN system - so it is NOT suiteble for me :)
 
Debian simply uses the precompiled binaries that can be downloaded from MySQL AB.
It's just a matter of downloading, extracting, replacing the link from data to /home/mysql and restarting. (Besides any upgrade issues you need to keep an eye out for between the major version changes).

This assumes you installed DirectAdmin after the change from Debian's package system to the precompiled binaries...
 
Can you please tell me how ? and where? i don't understand.

I understood that i need to download MYSQL5 package, but how do i remove the old mysql and how do i link the new one?
What about the users db and l/p ???
please help.
 
Try my MySQL upgrade script: http://mark87.com/download.php?list.2

There was a scheme change for the MySQL 5 download filenames so the script will not automatically be able to retreive the specified version. But you can use the script to look at the commands that are run when updating to a version in the 4.1 line. It should be the same process for v5.

I have not tried installing MySQL 5 on any servers so I make no guarantee's ;)
