Ok guys, I had MySQL 3.23.55 MAX on my machine, I decided to upgrade to MySQL 4.
I took the source compiled it and installed it, I was pretty happy.. then I remembered I forgot to backup a database from the old mysql build..so I went back shutdown mysql 4 and started up MAX, well I got it..then I tried to shut it off and run mysql 4...well mysql 4 now thinks its 3.23.55 when I start it..it says its running the 3.23.55 daemon and when I type status this is what I get:
mysql Ver 12.18 Distrib 4.0.12, for pc-linux (i686)
Connection id: 28
Current database:
Current user: root@localhost
SSL: Not in use
Current pager: stdout
Using outfile: ''
Server version: 3.23.55-Max-log
Protocol version: 10
Connection: Localhost via UNIX socket
Client characterset: latin1
Server characterset: latin1
UNIX socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
Uptime: 4 hours 46 min 28 sec
I am really confused..because now it's using mysql 4's mysql.sock..the old mysql.sock used to be in /var/lib/mysql...
Any ideas?
