I'm deffinitely a n00b with installing mysql [im on my first virtual server] - it came with 4.1 as the default mysql server, but I want to upgrade to mysql 5 - the mysql.com docs seem only to have what problems i might run into with the upgrade - not actually how to do the upgrade. The server is FreeBSD - any tips?

If you are on a virtual server you might not be able to do the install.
If you got root access it is timeconsuming but not that hard.
Basically you read the instructions and do a
./configure -options
and then the make steps according to the manual
You could also use the ports of FreeBSD but I personally like to see what I am doing.
To use that Mysql version with php you need to recompile php and apache as well.
