[atomic] Mysql 5.1.47

[scott]

From here on out the [atomic] channel will be standardized on Mysql 5.1, starting with version 5.1.47.

Changelog from 5.0 to 5.1 is fairly significant and too lengthy to post here. Releases following this will cover just the differences from the previous versions.

[Highland]

One important note (especially if you have used mysqltuner to tweak your my.cnf)
The Berkley engine was removed in 5.1. This engine used to be available in 5.0 and was enabled by default. To save resources, mysqltuner would recommend you add the following to my.cnf

Code: Select all

skip-bdb

You MUST comment this line out or mysql 5.1 will fail to start.
In addition, after mysql is running again, you must run the following

Code: Select all

mysql_upgrade -u <mysql root user> -p

[biggles]

I have the same experience as highland. Remove skip-bdb and run the update.

I have updated mysql to the latest 5.1.47...

However, plesk has warning

Code: Select all

Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.90 differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.47. This may cause unpredictable behavior.

Should I ignore this?

Also, the instructions from Highland:

mysql_upgrade -u <mysql root user> -p

Is the mysql root user "admin", or as shown in "top" interface as user "mysql", or am I to run the command as exactly spelled out without substitution of another user?

One more thing...the update warning said my.cnf has been saved as my.cnf.rpmnew....should I replace the older my.cnf with the new version. I did comment out the "skip-bdb" before the update...

[biggles]

You should use "admin" for mysql_upgrade if you are running a standard Plesk installation.

I don't think you need to copy the rpmnew-version to your default my.conf. You could do it, if you haven't made any alternations to your my.conf. If you donät get any errors, I'd stick to the one you've got running right now.

[Highland]

Your PHP MySQL library version 5.0.90 differs from your MySQL server version 5.1.47. Should I ignore this?

Yes. You would probably break Plesk trying to update the client. There's no harm in the client different for the most part.

Is the mysql root user "admin", or as shown in "top" interface as user "mysql", or am I to run the command as exactly spelled out without substitution of another user?

For Plesk users, use "admin" as your user and your Plesk admin password as the password. If you don't have Plesk installed, you would use root.

Thanks for the clarification....
I ran the upgrade command, then did some repairs on the tables, and some optimizing, reran the command several times till everything came together, but there is one repeating error:

ERROR 29 (HY000) at line 334: File '/var/log/mysql-slow.log' not found (Errcode: 13)

The file /var/log/mysql-slow.log does exist...I don't know why this error.

[biggles]

I had the same error. Got rid of it by doing the following:

Code: Select all

# log_slow_queries=/var/log/mysqld.slow.log
slow_query_log=1

[Highland]

Or you can do the following

Code: Select all

#touch /var/log/mysqld.slow.log
#chown mysql:mysql /var/log/mysqld.slow.log

This last update is causing a lot of problems in our server.

Whenever we try to use PhpMyAdmin or Plesk's built-in add database user feature, we get an error from the server telling that "table mysql.server does not exist.

We are running Plesk 8.6.

[dayo]

Got mine going with no issues.

I followed the tips above and ran yum.

I did get some warnings about tables needing repair so I ran: mysqlcheck -u <mysql username> -p --auto-repair --check --optimize --all-databases at the end.

Sounds like you didnät run the upgrade command after installation...

[magneticat]

I did, but apparently I had to run it twice and then it worked.

The second time, with the force option.

[mneese77]

@magneticat...please tell me how you used the force option and the actual command lines used...I cannot get this upgrade command to work...got all the tables in order , but still getting the error at the end...

So i get this correct i have the following updates available below as of this morning.

Is it as simple as following the below steps for Plesk 9.5 from what i gather or am i missing something and setting up for a failure?
1. yum upgrade and install all the updates.
2. after updates installed then run "mysql_upgrade -u <admin> -p <password>"
3. mysqlcheck -u <admin> -p <password> --auto-repair --check --optimize --all-databases
