hi everyone,
I managed to uninstall MySQL 5 (just removed the rpm from the end of
rpm -e). but I can't remove MySQL 4 (rpm says it's not installed, maybe
this was a manual installation). When I try to install MySQL 5 this is
what we get:
[root@server1 local]# rpm -i
MySQL-server-standard-5.0.18-0.rhel3.i386.rpm

Installation of system tables failed!
Examine the logs in /usr/local/mysql-standard-4.0.22-pc-linux-i686/data
for more information.
You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with:
/usr/sbin/mysqld --skip-grant &
You can use the command line tool
/usr/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql
database and look at the grant tables:
shell> /usr/bin/mysql -u root mysql
mysql> show tables
Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log
gives you a log in /usr/local/mysql-standard-4.0.22-pc-linux-i686/data
that may be helpful.
The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at
http://www.mysql.com
Please consult the MySQL manual section: 'Problems running
mysql_install_db',
and the manual section that describes problems on your OS.
Another information source is the MySQL email archive.
Please check all of the above before mailing us!
And if you do mail us, you MUST use the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!
Starting MySQL................................... ERROR!
It can't open the MySQL 4 directory as this has been deleted.
