hello guys,

I would like to seek an advice if the said information below (highlighted)shows that i have two mysqlserver (5.0.51b and 5.0.45) installed or running in my Slackware 12.1 server. If yes, pls guide or help me to uninstall the mysql 5.0.51b which is built-in or included in slackware 12.1 dvd iso. Mysql 5.0.45 was successfuly installed so i would like to retain it.

your help is highly appreciated.

mysql> status;
--------------
mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.51b, for slackware-linux-gnu (i486) using EditLine wrapper

Connection id: 8
Current database:
Current user: root@localhost
SSL: Not in use
Current pager: stdout
Using outfile: ''
Using delimiter: ;
Server version: 5.0.45-log Source distribution
Protocol version: 10
Connection: Localhost via UNIX socket
Server characterset: latin1
Db characterset: latin1
Client characterset: latin1
Conn. characterset: latin1
UNIX socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
Uptime: 12 min 3 sec

5.0.51b might be a default install if you selected to install it. if you compile a different version of MySQL it should overwrite most of the files, but you will still usually see some remains of the first install on the system.

hi matt,

thanks for your advice.

So meaning i don't have to worry about it and just leave it like that?

thanks again.

You should be fine. Please post if you run into any more issues with this.
