Hello, I've already posted it on the MySQL General Discussion list. Thought I wanted to try this list as well in case somebody knows. 5.0.11-beta-standard is already running. Now I need to install php-mysql which requires mysql-3.23.58-15.RHEL3.1.i3. Here is what I did and the errors I got: //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// $ sudo up2date -i php-mysql Password: Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rhel-i386-ws-3...

I remember it's possible to install several versions of MySQL and pick one depending on your need, but I cannot find where I saw it anymore. Anybody know where that information is? Thanks, Bing
