Hi Guys,
Firstly, thankyou very much for getting this added in. Being able to upgrade to Percona has so many advantages.
So I went ahead and did the following. However, it feels somewhat incomplete. Eg, The Plesk Updater will show that mysql is not installed and needs to be, plesk won't check for Percona updates either.
Are there any additional steps I should take.
1) service mysqld stop
2) Dumped databases (for backups in case)
3) yum list installed | grep mysql
4) rpm -e --nodeps mysql.x86_64
5) rpm -e --nodeps mysql-server.x86_64
6) rpm -e --nodeps mysql-libs.x86_64
7) rpm -Uhv http://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/percona-release-0.0-1.x86_64.rpm
8) yum install Percona-Server-client-55 Percona-Server-server-55 Percona-Server-devel-55
9) service mysql start
10) mysqlcheck -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` --all-databases --check-upgrade --auto-repair
Now percona is running, and everything seems correct. Apart from the aforementioned problems.
Also note the rpm -e --nodeps commands rather than the yum remove command being used, this is because you cannot simply upgrade to percona as they conflict, you need to remove mysql first, but doing it with yum remove will wipe out all the packages listing it as a dependency also.
Cheers
