I can uninstall 5 easily using yum. When I go to install 4 I get problems because of dependencies. It wants a different version of OpenSSL etc. On 30/01/07, Chris Hammond-Thrasher <hammondthrasher_c@usp.ac.fj> wrote:

Krsnendu,

I would recommend getting rid of mysql 5 and putting on mysql 4. There is a way to get mysql 5 to work, but it is troublesome and requires sql language expertise.

It has been a while since I used fedora, but can't you remove or uninstall mysql 5 with the rpm tool? (I think the command is "rpm -e mysql" or something similar.) Or did you compile mysql 5 yourself?

HELP! I still can't install Koha on my Fedora Core 6 (K12LTSP-6) machine because of the mysql 5 incompatability. Can someone help me to get around this? How can I uninstall mysql 5 and install mysql 4. Or is there some other solution?

I have not tried out koha on fedora - my experience is limited to debian. However, you should be able to uninstall mysql 5 using the rpm tool then install mysql 4 - which is officially supported. Rumor has it that the koha dev team knows how to make mysql 5 work, but they have not yet added the required code to a formal release.

All the best! -cht

Seems that Mysql 5 is incompatible with Koha. How can I downgrade to mysql 4.1 on Fedora Core 6?

Below is the error message I get. The seems to be a problem with user kohaadmin. Any clues what I need to do to fix this? I am using Fedora Core 6 and the mysql version is 5.0.27
