[cobalt-users] Re: Upgrading from MySQL 3.22.32 - Need help

["Adrian Boismoreau" <aboismoreau@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I installed the MySQL 3.23.36 tarball like you said. I got no errors
during installation. But the working MySQL version is still 3.22.32 (the one
I have installed). I rebooted the server and still 3.22.32.
Any ideas of how can I remove the older version? Shall I need to install the
new one again?

By the way, I'm working on a RaQ3, and really don't know if MySQL has been
installed with RPM or Tar for the first time as our colocation provider did
it.

Thanks again, and sorry about my ignorance.
