My serve is using the following bin files.
]# rpm -qa | grep mysql
mysql-5.1.73-3.el6_5.x86_64
mysql-libs-5.1.73-3.el6_5.x86_64
mysql-server-5.1.73-3.el6_5.x86_64
mysql-devel-5.1.73-3.el6_5.x86_64
So I need to replace all these bin files with matching 5.5 binary file ?
What do you mean by replace?
Use your distro's package manager to upgrade your MySQL packages.
Some one has already mentioned Percona; they build RPM/DEB packages
for all the major distributions out there.
*Before* doing this exercise on your production server, I would
strongly recommend that you carry out exercise on a prototype server
(using a copy of your production data) and make sure you work out all
the kinks (if any) in the upgrade process. Since it is production, I
would suggest do not go beyond 5.6.x. It has been vetted in the field
whereas 5.7 (not released yet) may still have some quirks post
release.
