RIP, nerdling.

I made a yum install with Jason's repository on a new VPS (CentOS5, 64Bit). I got an error message that some MySQL files conflict so I stopped the service and yum removed mysql. After that the yum install happened without any problem.

Unfortunately now MySQL does not seem to be installed.

#rpm mysql -q
mysql-5.0.45-7.el5
mysql-5.0.58-jason.2

But there should be more. Also I don't find any mysqld file on the whole server. Needless to say that 'service mysal start' only returns 'unrecognized service'. When I try to start the client (as root) it says:

#mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

I tried to install or update mysql again using yum, but now yum does not seem to work properly any more:

#yum install mysql

Sorry to post this much stuff here. I just don't know what to do now.

I tried 'yum clean all' and 'rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*' and 'rpm --rebuilddb. but no luck.

Any hint would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

about 80% of all of my spam websites link to yours actually, and thats really dumb

Anyway you could release 5.0.66a?

http://mirror.provenscaling.com/mysql/enterprise/source/5.0/mysql-5.0.66a.tar.gz

Thank you in advance

Jesse

Thanks! I thought about doing that but I wasn't sure if it would work or not. I tried it and it worked great.

yum --enablerepo=utterramblings --exclude=php* update mysql*

I am running CentOS 4.6 with Interworx control panel on a VPS. I am interested in upgrading to MySQL 5, but for various reasons, I need to keep PHP 4 around for a little while longer. I'm actually running PHP 5 (built from source) in an alternate location, so that I have a choice of either PHP 4 or PHP 5 via suPHP.

I was directed to your site from a post on the Interworx forums. You came highly recommended, and from the comments here, I feel I can trust that your packages are legit.

I've installed your utterramblings repo in yum, but set enabled=0 to ensure that I don't upgrade anything (like PHP) accidentally. I then use the command:

yum --enablerepo=utterramblings update mysql*

Yum does its thing and eventually spits out a list of what it will update. This includes a few php dependancies (php-common, php-pdo, and php-mysql). Obviously php-mysql needs to be updated, but php-pdo is PHP 5-only and I'm not sure about php-common). Is it safe to let yum install these and keep PHP 4 working? Or is it even possible to upgrade MySQL and not PHP? Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

FWIW, my "alternate" PHP5 install already has PDO and its working great.

I think I am going mad... I am using your 5.0.54a on a replicating system on Centos 5.1, but mysqld as slave is crashing consistently on a couple of simple queries:

DELETE FROM contest_score WHERE cid IN (1, 2) AND period_start >= FROM_UNIXTIME(1186347600)
DELETE FROM captcha WHERE created<DATE_SUB(NOW(),INTERVAL 1 HOUR)
(contest_score has three primary unique indices, and captcha is in memory.)
The slave doesn't crash I exclude the databases that use these queries from replicating.

My problem is that I want to compile the srpm without stripping symbols to get a meaningful stack trace.

I managed to unpack the srpm, modify the spec file to use --with-debug, but every time the symbols are stripped, even if I rename /usr/bin/strip to something else.

%define __os_install_post /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress didn't help either (but not sure where to put it!)
What else would I have to modify to get a real debug version of the code?

Cheers,
Andy.
