CentOS 4 - Upgrading yum installed php-mysql to mysql5 easily, how? Yum?

**Anilrgowda** · 29-Nov-2007, 01:51 AM

Question: I'm trying to upgrade mysql on this centos 4 machine... it has php-mysql installed via yum. The mysql version is 4.1

I need 5.0 however it looks like yum doesn't have the option to upgrade to v5... is there anyway I can do this easily? I'm not much of a sysadmin and trying to do this manually will end up with me most likely breaking something

Actually it DOES. CentOS provides the centosplus repo, you just need to enable it.

Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and enable the [plus] section.

See here for the contents of the repo:
