concurrent MySQL installation wit mediatemple

[Machuse]

I am currentl using an appliance server at Media Temple.

And for whatever reason, i need to be able to use....or would like to be able to use MySQL 4.x currently; the temple is only using 3.x.

They havnt been the most helpful in pointing me in the direction i need to go to make this happen, so im asking here.

They tell me I can just upgrade because it will break the control panel. But that I can have concurrent installations of plesk. Supposidly its not as simple as just installing another version on your server tho.....does anyone have any advice or forsight on this issue.

Thanks

does no one have an answer?

Does anyone know of a GOOD host that has mySQL 4+???

Well your host would have to set up the install of the new MySQL version and incorporate it into the panels are required or whatever, so since they declined that, well then that is not going to happen there.

I host at www.unflux.net (which I find to be a great host) and they have MySQL 4.1.13-standard installed.

good looks, I have a more or less self managed system, so even though they dont want to do it, they basically told me to do it.

But anyways looks like ill have two host for a moment

thanks lost
