Well.... just wanted to know if the people at the MySQL.org site ever
look at the posts in this group. If they do, they can possibly us a
little constructive criticism from a slightly irritated customer.
Seems to me that if someone installs Redhat 9 with MySQL from the
original CD source which is version 3.23.54a and then follows the
instructions at the MySQL website on upgrading to a newer
version....(4.0.22) then, it should work. I get a message that stated
that I need the perl-DBD and php-mysql (which, btw are already
installed and the installation error states that they are already
installed).
Now...this system is box stock.... no other programs or modifications
have been added / changed / removed from this box.
Now ... having said all that, I did see that they (the people at
MySQL) do not support Redhat and maybe that is where my problem lies.
I was thinking of creating a LAMP server from FreeBSD 5.2 (which is in
the MySQL approved OS) Does anyone have any good / bad thoughts on
this plan?
I would appreciate any input on building a LAMP server in which I can
install the latest versions of MySQL, Apache, & PHP without spending
hour after hour chasing around dependencies that seem to never end.
Thank you for your patience.
Sincerely,
Kell
