Kirby: I ran into the same problem upgrading 5.0.18 > 5.0.18-r30. Copying the /var/lib/mysql directory to /var/lib/mysql-500 is correct, but you also need to change the owner/group of the new directory:
chown mysql:mysql -R /var/lib/mysql-500 Then after completing the rest of the guide you should be ready to go. hth, On Wednesday 08 February 2006 7:23 pm, Sarpy Sam wrote: > > you need to rename /etc/mysql to something like /etc/mysql-999 or delete > > if you are going to unmerge 5.0.18 > > then use eselect mysql to set your desired version > > check my.cnf is it to your likings and /etc/conf.d/mysql points to > > correct version at mycnf= > > start server > > > > few weeks ago here was email about sloted mysql explaining all > > > > m > > Maybe I didn't make myself clear.
