Well, moving the datadir to the new MySQL 5.0.21 directory, messing around with all the stupid symlinks, it seems I have finally managed to delete that datadir... It was empty anyway, yet, but this is an extremely dangerous task. So I really need to move the datadir to a safe place, outside all that symlinked chaos.
With that done, what is the proposed upgrade method anyway? 1. unpack the tarball to /usr/local/mysql-$version 2. chown root:mysql it all (what for, actually?) 3. stop the server 4. update the symlink /usr/local/mysql5 to the new directory 5. start the server Would that be okay? -- Yves Goergen "LonelyPixel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://beta.unclassified.de – My web laboratory. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
