Hi
I have at last reached the point where I believe version 4 is stable enough
and better than version 3 to start upgrading.
Can people recommend the best process ..
Currently I have three pc's running
- Suse 8.1(Duron 256MB)
-Redhat 8.0(Celeron 256MB)
-Debian Woody(Celeron 512MB)
and all our running the latest version of MySQL released by the coreesponding
distro.
The official RPM's look ok, but will not work on the Debian box unless I use
'alien'. The number of MySQL debs I use are
ii libdbd-mysql-p 1.2216-2 mySQL database interface for Perl
ii libmysqlclient 3.23.49-8.2 mysql database client library
ii libmysqlclient 3.23.49-8.2 mysql database development files
ii libpam-mysql 0.4.7-1 PAM module allowing authentication from a My
ii mysql-client 3.23.49-8.2 mysql database client binaries
ii mysql-common 3.23.49-8.2 mysql database common files (e.g. /etc/mysql
ii mysql-server 3.23.49-8.2 mysql database server binaries
I am begining to consider compiling the source distribution. This would
involve removing all RPMS+DEBS(with 3.23 in name) and install MySQL with
`CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=pentiumpro" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O2
-mcpu=pentiumpro -felide-constructors" ./configure
--prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-extra-charsets=complex
--enable-thread-safe-client --enable-local-infile
--enable-assembler --disable-shared
--with-client-ldflags=-all-static
--with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static'
--bindir=/usr/bin
--sbindir=/usr/sbin
--datadir=/var/lib/mysql
--libdir=/usr/lib/mysql
Will Exim and Apache authentication routines still work with the new
libraries?
Everything was much simpler in the old days, before packagaing systems, and
every application hooking into MySQL, ie Exim and Apache. The price of MySQL
being such a good product.
Any advice would be appreciated
Many thanx
Simon
