I could install FreeBSD 6.4 on a virtual machine, replace the data dir and run mysqldump from there. Thank you for your help!

No matter which version of mysql you install, you have to run this command mysql_install_db --user=mysql on the command line to create mysql's control databases first. Then restart the mysql service. To verify mysql is operational issue this command. mysqladmin version Them run your restore DB job pointing at your old bkup file. That should recreate your db definition and populate the db with your data in sync with the version of mysql your running. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

There is nothing in /var/log/messages. It was working with 4.1 server, but I just uninstalled that (because the upgrading faq told me to install 4.0 instead.)

Re: MySQL 3 needed but how?
Quick glance
/usr/ports/databases/mysql323-server/
65 .if ${OSVERSION} >= 70
66 IGNORE= obsolete and does not build with gcc4.2; use mysql 5 or later
67 .endif
Get FreeBSD-6x installed somewhere and mysql port SHOULD compile and run.

MySQL 3 needed but how?
Hi, I have an old backup from a MySQL data directory. It was created with MySQL version 3. If I install MySQL 4 then I get this message telling that the table was created with a different MySQL version. So I try to install mysql 3. Here is the problem: gw# pwd /usr/ports/databases/mysql323-server gw# make ===> mysql-server-3.23.59.n.20050301_3 obsolete and does not build with gcc4.2; use mysql 5 or later. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mysql323-server. gw# But I really need mysql 3. I usually install everything from the ports tree, but in this case this won't work. I need a quick solution. Maybe I can install a different OS in a virtual machine. But do you know where can I download a BSD OS version that has a binary package of MySQL server 3? (I don't know how to search for a BSD OS that has binary packages for mysql3...)
