I'm setting up a Linux box to run Apache and MySQL. The box is running Fedora Core 3 and I've loaded the MySQL (ver 3) from the Fedora DVD. What I've decided to do is to upgrade to
MySQL 4.1 because I believe the table/row locking in version 4 is much better that ver 3. The existing database is empty and I'm trying to decide the best course of acions. I'm having problems with the MySQL RPM files because they require older versions of things like libstc... etc than what comes with Core 3 so using the RPM is of no use. Building from source also got me in knots. So the question is, should I uninstall the MySQL server I have and setup from the binaries provided by MySQL? Anybody got any hints or tips on doing this?
