Hi,
I use WordPress, which needs mysql and php4.
Normally I use it on Sarge. But I upgraded to Sid on one partition.
Sid uses mysql-server-5.0 while Sarge uses 4.0.24-10sarge1.
That means I can dump the db on Sarge and read it back in on Sid.
But I cannot do that from Sid to Sarge because you get a mysql error.
So I would like to downgrade mysql on Sid.
But how do you do that?
The mysql-server-5.0 package contains something about it in its
README.Debian:
* DOWNGRADING TO 4.0 or 4.1:
============================
Unsupported. Period.
But if you do and get problems or make interesting experiences, mail me,
it might help others.
Ok, if you really want, I would recommend to "mysqldump --opt" all
tables, then purge 4.1, delete /var/lib/mysql, install 4.0 and insert
the dumps. Be carefully, though, with the "mysql" table, you might not
simply overwrite that one as the password for the mysql
"debian-sys-maint" user is stored in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf and needed by
/etc/init.d/ to start mysql and check if it's alive.
What does "install 4.0" mean? From where? No package in Sid like that.
I got a feeling about this that while stable is Sarge I stay away from
Sid. :-(
