Mysql still in 3.23 after 8.1 upgrade

[sugardaddy]

Hi !

I don't know if it's the right way, but after doing an upgrade of my plesk to 8.1 (from 8), mysql is still in version 3.23 instead of 4.x as announced.

Any idea ?
Thanks !

The Plesk upgrade doesn't include MySQL upgrades.

If you are running a Redhat variant, check out ART's site, http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com for more info..

Good Luck..

Well... it sounds to be a bit difficult for me.
But I'll try. Actually, I'm running a FC2.
Thanks !

ART supports FC2, so use YUM and his repos to update MySQL.

OK fine !
Is it a "dangerous" operation ?
I mean, I will backup everything, but is there a way the databases could be broken during the upgrade ?
Should I upgrade first to 4.x then to 5.x or directly to 5.x ?

I would stick with MySQL 4.1... I don't think art has a 5.x build....

It's not dangerous, unless you have scripts which require MySQL 3.x

Well, you're right... and I don't have some of these.
Great !
I'll do it !

Thanks a lot for your answers !
