I want upgrade my mysql 5.0 server to 5.1, but because 5.1 is not in the centos repo i will do a manual upgrade.
For this i think of a way such as:
1. installing mysql 5.1 with different port, path, socket options.
2. dump data from 5.0, reload to 5.1
3. check if everything goes well.
4. turn off mysql 5.0
i will do some changes in the schema as well, as i moved 5.1 such as partitioning some tables. I think it would be good to dump, and reload the data.
i just want to ask that is this a bad way for upgrading, installing a second mysql server on the same machine. Otherwise do you have any recommendations. I don't want to risk any data or system failures.
thank you very much.
