HI All
Just to let you know (if someone should be wondering)
I used the method below on a VM in order to test the methods of
upgrading before I do the actual systems.
I was able to do a successful upgrade with no errors as far as I
can see, using the method as described earlier.
Regards
Machiel

I suspect you need to have the new version running instead of the old
one, for the mysql_upgrade script to work.

HI Guys
I found some info regarding a method to upgrade mysql
databases.
Currently the version is at mysql-5.0.51a (as installed
via the
ubuntu-8.0.4 respository).
I downloaded the only version available from the web
(5.1.53)
that will work on ubuntu [except for source]. This is the binary
package
that need to be untarred into a directory and then the database
to be
initialized.
The option was was looking at was to do the following
(according
to some reccomendations)
- untar new version into seperate directory.
- keep the current version running.
- cd to /path/to/new/directory/bin
- ./mysql_upgrade -u root -p
Running this I get a couple of errors / warnings
though and
I am hoping that someone can provide me with some answers or
otherwise a
better way to do the upgrade.
