Topic: Best upgrade method to 5.5 from 5.0

First off, thanks for providing this repo.

I'm still getting the hang of using yum and wondered if there's a post here that would lead me through the best way of getting from MySQL 5.0 to 5.5.

I currently have MySQL 5.0.77-4.el5_5.4 installed.

Do I need to download 5.1 from http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/5/olds/i386/ first, install that, and then use the repo to jump from 5.1 to 5.5? hmm

Looking forward to your advice.

should be enough.

Re: Best upgrade method to 5.5 from 5.0

Thanks. Upgrade went well, except running mysql-upgrade produces a " /usr/bin/mysqlcheck: Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'" error.

UPDATE: Up and running. Just had to tweak the my.cnf. And have more coffee...
