Upgrade from 3.23 to 4 in Linux

Hi,

I have an installation of MySQL 3.23 located in /usr/local/mysql.3.23.51,
which is working perfectly. Now I installed in /usr/local/mysql.4.0.14 the
binaries for a new version (4.0.14 of course), and don't know how to start
using it instead of the older one. I have a link: /usr/local/mysql pointing
to /usr/local/mysql.3.23.51 and some few databases in that directory.
My data files are in MyISAM format.
How do I migrate the database files? How do I tell Linux to use this
version?
I never did a task like this in Linux, for I always used MS Operating
Systems, so please be as clear as possible... In fact, I didn't understand
the MySQL manual about this topic.
Thank you very much in advance,

Patricio.

I had a client upgrade his PHP from 4.? to 4.3.9. An important script stopped working. It seems to work fine, but it uses the mail() function and sendmail to send notifications. The email never arrives. The script worked fine before the upgrade. Variables in php.ini seem to be set correctly. The system is Redhat Linux. With the upgrade, a new php.ini file was created, which had far more in it than it did before. Setting all of the variables...

Hi, I have had a site working for the last 2 years and have had no problems until at the weekend I replace my database server with a newer one. The database migration went like a dream and I had the whole db changed over in 1 hour. Since the upgrade I have been getting the following error message sporadically.

This isn't entirely PG related, but... Does anyone know what the natural upgrade path from RedHat 9 is? I'm wondering if anyone on the PostgreSQL team is working with redhat to package and bundle versions of PostgreSQL for the latest redhat. Is there going to be a RedHat 10? Or are we all supposed to choose a path of RH Enterprise vs Fedora Core? I have about 10 to 20 Redhat 9 machines in dev/qa/production that

We have several machines currently running the DB2 V7 Run-time Client that we would like to actually be running the App Dev Client. To 'upgrade' (within the same version) this client software can we simply install the App Dev Client on 'top of' the Run-time Client? Will the install routine uninstall the Run-time Client under the covers during the install of the App Dev Client? Also, is this type of 'upgrade' possible/supported during a...

Our technical guy says that our linux server is running PHP 4. I thought we were running 5 already. He says he wants to charge us £500 a year to install and support it because it is a lot of work, and the problems it will create on our current systems are huge etc. Now I installed 5 on my PC at home running Apache without any problems and develop sites locally and then upload to the server (running 4). I have never had a problem with...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
