upgrade mysql and php on FC3 and Plesk 7.5.4

[atomicturtle]

cat /etc/redhat-release

That will tell you what distro you are on. You might need to force (--force) that glibc install. As you might have guessed, glibc-dummy-fedora-core is one of those non-standard packages I mentioned in my earlier post that breaks compatibility with the default OS install.

just put the yum rpm file somewhere e.g. /tmp
then go to that directory (cd /tmp) and install the rpm (rpm -ivh yum-xxxx-xxx.rpm (replace with real name)), Now you can remove the rpm file (rm yum-xxx-xxx.rpm). Yum is now installed in the correct directories.

this is the error message i am getting.
/etc/security/selinux/file_contexts: No such file or directory
warning: yum-2.6.0-1.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 68669cc?
error: cannot create sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
btw i am using yum-2.6.0-1.src.rpm is this correct yum. i am also using fedora core2
i am going nuts.

I too need to upgrade mysql. I have read everything posted here and information other places and I an scared to try it. I don't know enough about it to try. I can't afford my server to go down. Is there anyone I can hire to make the change for me?
Thanks,
Tim

Hello, I am a newbie...and am in the dark. I know this is probably a dumb question but I have looked everywhere for the answer and can't find it. I used my ftp and downloaded the "yum.conf" file and added what was needed. My question is, how do I upload this file back to root? My ftp says access denied.
Many thanks,
Tim

hi, first u have to find out what is your os. is it fc2,fc3,redhat, etc. if by any chance you are using fedora core2, here is the steps. i saw this on another site. this is a c/p


1. Go to http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/2/os/i386/
2. Get the location of the yum rpm (right click -> copy location)
3. Log onto your server (ssh root@ip).
4. Download the rpm by running 'wget location-of-file', i.e.:
wget http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/2/os/i386/yum-2.0.7-1.1.noarch.rpm
5. Try to install the rpm: rpm -Uvh *.rpm
6. The last step will probably fail saying you'll need some more packages on which yum depends. Get these rpm files by looking up the locations of the dependencies at either http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/2/updates/i386/ or, if it's not in that location, the webpage from step 1. Use wget to download them to your server. Then go to step 5 again. The dependencies you downloaded may need some dependencies in return also, so you might need to repeat this process a couple of times (~4 times or so).
7. When the installation is done, you can remove the rpm files you downloaded: rm -f *.rpm
8. Install ART's GPG key: rpm --import http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY.art.txt
9. Add the following to /etc/yum.conf:
[atomic]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - Atomic PSA-Compatible RPMS
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/art/$releasever/
10. Run this command to update mysql: yum update mysql and then restart mysqld: service mysqld restart

So there. I know resolving those dependencies isn't a fun job, but that's exactly why you're installing yum: yum will take care of that from now on.

WhooHoo!
I finally got YUM installed. I did have to follow the deep path of dependencies.

I updated ect/yum.conf
when I run yum check-update

Where did I do wrong?

 

[propmaster]

I have installed yum and am up to this part. Now, how do I add this code to yum?

Then run
#yum check-update

That should show you the 4.1.18 files (which are fairly recent additions). Then all you should need is

#yum upgrade mysql

Have you ever used vi or pico? That's how I put them in. SSH in and use either one to edit your yum.conf file. Be sure that you're logged in as root or superuser first as root typically owns the file.

I'm not sure where it came from but I had too much garbage in the YUM.CONF file. I stripped it down to the ART info only and it WORKED LIKE A CHARM! It's a beautiful thing. PHP is updated and I just got to sit back and watch all the code fly by... ahhh martini time!

Thanks to all and special thanks to Atomic Turtle for keeping his site up to date!
