Hi
The built in mysql server on Mac Os Server Snow Leopard 10.6.8 that I have bought is 5.0, I need to upgrade it to 5.5, how do I do that?
I followed these instructions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4006
Everything went smoothly except that the server is not upgraded still the same version.
Thanks

The KBase you reference is for installing updated headers and libraries for writing C code which talks to MySQL.
If you want to install 5.5, go directly to the vendor at mysql.com:
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
This will NOT update the version delivered with the OS, so you will have to manage the database manually.
I do not! I wanna upgrade the aready installed version
You asked how to upgrade to 5.5; I told you where to find the installer, and you don't want to upgrade to it. I don't understand your request.
Chris is right. The only way, you can upgrade to 5.5 is by doing it manually. Apple will probably update to a later version with Lion. But MySQL version updates have been rare in the past.
Installing a different version is pretty straightforward, but you can not use SA anymore and have to configure the php, apache in the correct way. There are plenty of links out there which can help you.
So long.
