[csw-users] Will a Blastwave install take precedence over an older one?

[Douglas S. Davis]

Hi,

I wanted to install phpmyadmin on our Solaris 10 system, but when I 
did a pkg-get on the Blastwave package of phpmyadmin, it wanted to 
install mysql 5, since phpmyadmin depends on it.  We already have 
mysql 5 installed from a non-Blastwave installation.  If I choose to 
let the installer go ahead and install mysql 5 so that I can get 
phpmyadmin on the system, will doing so screw up our existing mysql 
databases and their interactions with Apache and various Perl scripts 
that refer to them?

If not, and I can go ahead with the install, will I be able to 
configure phpmyadmin to use our existing mysql installation?


Thanks!



                                         Douglas
