rpm -qa | grep SQL
MySQL-shared-3.23.37-1
MySQL-client-3.23.37-1
MySQL-devel-3.23.37-1
MySQL-3.23.37-1

If they are there, remove them

rpm -e --force <name>

download the MySQL package (ssh/telnet/console to your box ** become root
** )

wget http://pkgmaster.com/i386/RaQ3-RaQ4-MySQL-3.23.54-1.pkg
/usr/local/sbin/cobalt_upgrade RaQ3-RaQ4-MySQL-3.23.54-1.pkg

Watch the output of what it says.  Make sure it comes back being successful.

Make sure it is running:

[root /root]# ps -ef | grep mysqld
root      1074     1  0 Dec14 ?        00:00:00 sh
/usr/bin/safe_mysqld --datadi
mysql     1100  1074  0 Dec14 ?        00:00:00
/usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --d
mysql     1105  1100  0 Dec14 ?        00:00:00
/usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --d
mysql     1106  1105  0 Dec14 ?        00:00:00
/usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --d
root     28269 28116  0 14:35 pts/0    00:00:00 grep mysqld

Then you should be all set, you may need to redo your password ... (maybe),
see the FaQ on
pkgmaster for that!

Merry Christmas
