This ALPHA build of MySQL 4.1 for the Windows platform does not come
|
|
with an installer. A full-featured installer is being developed for the
|
|
4.1 series, and it is scheduled to be released with MySQL 4.1 BETA.
|
|
|
|
** FRESH INSTALL **
|
|
|
|
To install MySQL 4.1 as a 'fresh' install, unzip this archive to a directory
|
|
of your choice (we suggest 'c:\', which will cause MySQL to be installed in
|
|
a directory named 'mysql' in 'c:\'). You should then follow the directions
|
|
in the user manual for starting/stopping MySQL:
|
|
|
|
(Windows 9x/ME) http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Win95_start.html
|
|
(Windows NT/2000/XP) http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/NT_start.html
|
|
|
|
** UPGRADE INSTALL **
|
|
|
|
To install MySQL 4.1 as an upgrade to your current version of MySQL, you need
|
|
to perform the following steps:
|
|
|
|
* Back up your original installation (always a good idea!)
|
|
|
|
* Unzip the 4.1 archive to a directory that is different than where your
|
|
current MySQL installation is located. (Or, if you do unzip this
|
|
archive into the same location as your existing installation, do NOT
|
|
unpack the 'data' subdirectory. If you unpack the 'data' directory,
|
|
your existing databases will be overwritten.)
|
|
|
|
* Shut down all MySQL server processes/services.
|
|
|
|
* Remove the Win32 MySQL service (if appropriate for your OS):
|
|
|
|
c:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --remove
|
|
|
|
* Exit 'WinMySQLAdmin' (if it is running).
|
|
|
|
* If you unzipped this archive into a directory different than that
|
|
of your existing MySQL installation, copy from the archive all its
|
|
directories and their contents EXCEPT the 'data' directory into the
|
|
existing installation.
|
|
|
|
* Start the MySQL server with the '--skip-grant-tables' option. Assuming
|
|
your MySQL installation is located at 'c:\mysql', the command looks like
|
|
this:
|
|
|
|
c:\mysql\bin\mysqld-opt --skip-grant-tables
|
|
|
|
If your installation is located in some other directory, adjust the
|
|
pathname in that command (and in the following commands).
|
|
|
|
* Execute the 'mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql' script that is located in
|
|
the 'scripts' directory:
|
|
|
|
c:\mysql\bin\mysql -f mysql < c:\mysql\scripts\mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql
|
|
|
|
This script performs any actions necessary to convert your grant tables
|
|
to the current format. You may see some "duplicate column" warnings as
|
|
it runs; these can be ignored.
|
|
|
|
* Stop the server:
|
|
|
|
c:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root shutdown
|
|
|
|
* Re-install the Win32 MySQL service (if required):
|
|
|
|
c:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --install
|
|
|
|
* Re-start the server or service using your normal startup procedure.
