[sorry for the double post, not sure how that happened…]

So, i just did the standard mysql 5.0.41 installation from binary, community download from mysql.com.

Everything seems to have gone well, PHPMyAdmin is working fine and reporting the correct version of mysql (and the 4.1.22 php client). I’m not sure if there is a speed improvement tho.

I was able to get the MySQL Manager applet to work with the new install by changing the tool strings file to something like this:

/Applications/Server/MySQL Manager.app/Contents/Resources/tool_strings

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

        <string>-YES-</string>

</plist>

happy hacking.

I am wondering the same thing… i want to upgrade to MySQL 5.x to get better multi-core support, but i can’t find any instructions anywhere for how to do so in OSX Server.

Anyone tried this? Another post in another forum said recompiling php would also be necessary. Any hints? maybe i will just try it, since i’m still getting everything configured…

Here we are one year later… Did you ever find a solution?

I’m experiencing the same problem with Entourage 2004 and Exchange 2003 (both fully updated). We especially see the slowness with the calendar sync – it takes hours! We also had some possibly related issues of calendared items going into Outlook user’s personal calendar rather than the office calendar.

I’m at a loss, but really need to show the office that a Mac can work!

any ideas appreciated.

p.s. this is a great site, and i’m so glad i found such an awesome resource. thanks to all who contribute!
