From the following guide i have been trying to update mysql on my Centos server:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-repo-excerpt/5.6/en/updating-yum-repo.html
My current mysql version is:
programversion: 5.1.73 - Source distribution
When i run the commands i get the following:
[[email protected]****~]# sudo yum update mysql-community-release

So what can i do to upgrade my mysql version?
My answer:
You don’t actually have MySQL’s yum repository installed. As the directions advised you, you need to do that first.
