1. Go to MySQL.com and download the rpm's for Redhat 2. "rpm -e" all the RedHat mysql rpms
3. "rpm -Uvh" all the rpms from mysql. That should do it. You may also be able to just do "rpm -Uvh" on the new mysql rpms with out even removing the redhat ones. I've done this before with no problems. Just to be safe you may want to tar up the /var/lib/mysql/ directory as backup so you are absolutely assured of having your working database even if something goes horribly wrong (which it shouldn't). -David On Sat, 2003-12-20 at 19:37, Tayfun Teksoy wrote: > I am currently using REDHAT 9.0. > I have MySQL 3.X installed and want to replace it with > MySQL 4.0.
