I would like to support this. MySQL 4 is very important to me too.

I have successfully upgraded to Mysql 4.013 and have all the associated libraries.  It was a long hall, but I have done it 3 times with both 5.6 and 6.0.  Special thanks to Noah for the clues...

Email me with subject of mysql or my filters will kill the email if you would like information of what I didJesper Bille Haun wrote:

I've sucessfully installed MySQL 4 a number of times.  I'll go through all of my notes and write up a nice How-To shortly.  In the mean time, here are the basic steps:

- stop MySQL and remove the exisiting rpms (rpm -e)

- download the MySQL 4 rpms from mysql.com (don't use Red Hat's rpms), make sure the use the libraries which are compatible with MySQL 3 & 4.

- install the rpms (use rpm -Uvh)

- do the following to handle startup:
   chkconfig --levels 2345 mysql on
   rm /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S90mysqld
   ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S90mysqld

Note: the chkconfig step was necessary with MySQL 4.0.13 and eartlier.   I believe more recent MySQL rpms have fixed the bug which required this.  Go back through this thread for some more details.

TIA
