MYSQL Version Upgrade TO 5.5.

9 This Document intends to list the steps and procedure for mysql version upgrade. Steps :An outline of the required steps are below :1. Run all the Pre checks and modifications needed. 2. Backup up the database ( infact, full installation, including the grants DB called mysql) 3. In our environment, the mysql installation is done at a different location, separate from the mysql default installation location. For me its done at /mysql/software.5.1.38 and contains the following folders :$ ls /mysql/software/5.1.38 agent conf data EXCEPTIONS-CLIENT INSTALL-BINARY man README share support-files bin COPYING docs include lib mysql-te 4. So i remove all these binaries and install only the 5.5 binaries. 5. Start mysql with the approprite my.cnf file pointing to the correct database location. 6. Run mysql_upgrade and to check and repair the tables as necessary.

Hi Lodh, The steps you outlined will work. I would suggest a small change: * leave the existing binaries in the /mysql/software/5.1.38 directory

* * * * *

install the new binaries into a different directory (eg /mysql/software/5.5.12) move (or copy) the entire 'data' directory into the new directory edit the configuration file to suit check the startup scripts point to the new location temporarily rename the old directory to (eg) 5.1.38-do-not-use

Once you have fully tested the new version and your backup and restore procedures you can remove the old directory completely.
