Problem upgrading to 4.0

[mikesk]

I'm trying to upgrade Mysql 3.23.49 to version 4.0.9-gamma so that I can take advantage of the union queries. If I issue an rpm update, I get the following result:

# rpm -Uv MySQL-4.0.9-0.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
MySQL-server conflicts with mysql-server-3.23.49-3
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by mod_auth_mysql-1.11-1
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by mysql-server-3.23.49-3

I did some searching, and it appears mod_auth_mysql is an authorization module for apache. It does not appear that I am using this module, since the Loadmodule in apache is commented out. Is it safe to run rpm with --force on to overcome this? I'm kind of nervous about doing this since I can't afford the downtime to reinstall MySQL from scratch.

On the off chance, it would seem to be ok. But why not install the module in apache? Its a good thing to have :)

But, i'm not that knowledgable on Linux, so don't take just my opinion, wait for the others.

Meanwhile, as the MySQL Forum is mainly dealing with the MySQL coding issue rather that linux upgrades, i'll move this to the Computer/PC Issues forum for you where some *nix heads will see it *hopefully* :rolleyes:

Jee And hence my desire for a Linux forum ;)

I'll try editing the title to attract some attention. This isn't a PC issue as such, more server admin but a few Linux guys do come in here I think so I'll let it fly...
