How Do I Upgrade mySQL with Plesk 7.5.4?

[bconrad27]

Hello. I am running Plesk 7.5.4 on a Linux server, and have mySQL 3.23.58 installed. I would like to upgrade, but my host said that because I am running Plesk, I would need to install the latest version through Plesk.

Is this true? How do I go about upgrading?

There is no updating mysql via plesk!

Have a look here:

ART provides us nix ppl with yum repos full of goodies like the newest, plesk friendly rpms like php, mysql, etc...

It's like xmas all year long Donate to Scott (A.R.T.)

Thanks. I've been checking out his site this afternoon... looks like I need to install Yum for 7.5.4.

I downloaded and installed the Yum RPM:

rpm -i yum-2.0.7-1.art.src.rpm

But not sure what to do next...

edit your yum.conf file in /etc/ to use the proper ART channels, then run "yum check-update" to see what is available....

I don't have a yum.conf file in /etc/

Maybe I installed the yum RPM incorrectly?
