I’ve used the same procedure before, but at the time the 5.5 RPMs were not in the cPanel repo – so you’d have to use the vendor RPMs. At the time I did this, I had a lot of issues getting it to work with cPanel, but I’m sure they’ll include support for it in no time.

Is this the same procedure for upgrading to Mysql 5.5 with cpanel?

Thank you so much! This helped me when I thought upgrading was impossible.

One Question:
Why do you install the embedded server in your tutorial? cPanel/Apache uses the client/server model, doesn’t it?

Is there a way to easily reverse this incase there are any problems? I’d like to upgrade my setup, but don’t want a live server to be down for hours on end if there is a hiccup I can’t figure out.

Also, does the mysql data and username/password information stay intact?

Hi, while installing the RPMs for mysql, I get this error:

[ericm] #> rpm -i MySQL-test-5.1.21-0.glibc23.i386.rpm

error: Failed dependencies:
perl-DBI is needed by MySQL-test-5.1.21-0.glibc23.i386

Any idea what this is about and what to do? DBI, DBD, Bundle::DBI etc are all installed and updated!

Depending on where your libs are located, one of these commands should work:

ln -s /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.14

ln -s /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.14
