Thanks Praveen, So Max is not a server version, it sure is difficult to determine that on the download page:
MySQL database server & standard clients: · MySQL 3.23 -- Stable release (recommended) latest version is 3.23.52 · · 3.23 -- Default package (use this if you are unsure) · · 3.23 Max -- Package with maximum features Should I now download 3.23 (Default pkg) and run the rpm, how will this affect what happened on my server below? Is there a way to un-install the client and Max? Or should I just install 3.23 and all will be better? Thanks again.
