We want to upgrade some 4.11 boxes from mysql4+PHP4 to mysql 41+PHP5 with about no interruption as there's many users I want to know if i have another faster solution than what i plan to do, i mean : pkg_delete php4* pkg_delete mysql* then install php5 and mysql from port we have many dependencies on mysql-client (mydns, postfix, pureftpd, etc.), do i need to reinstall everything against the new mysql client version ? i thought about force reinstall without removing old versions, but how can i unregister the packages without removing the files so the server will continue to run during the compilation step ? finally, how can i know the incidence on mysql databases, i already read the official mysql 4.0=>4.1 howto, but maybe using the ports installer implie other stuff to do ? thanks for any help.
