Installing cPanel/WHM with MySQL 5.1 on clean CentOS Install...

LVWH
Hello everyone, I would like to know if there is a method in which to install cPanel/WHM and have MySQL 5.1 installed from a Clean Installation of CentOS 6.4. I have a client that is having troubles with MySQL 5.5 and we need to get him MySQL 5.1 as a temporary workaround till he re-codes part of his site to accommodate the changes in MySQL 5.5. I have already installed cPanel/WHM and there is NO option to downgrade MySQL and there are many places that recommend not doing a downgrade. I have thought about starting CentOS 6.4 totally clean and then installing MySQL 5.1 via RPM but I would be concerned that cPanel/WHM would automatically upgrade MySQL, and thus be a waste of time. So how do we get around an issue like this??? Are there some command line options we can attach to LATEST.SH??? Thanks in Advance, Darrel LVWH P.S: I have done some searching around to see if something like this exists on the Net or the Forums here but to no avail. If someone has a line on this it would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello :) Downgrading MySQL is not supported or recommended. If you do not have any active databases and you want to attempt a downgrade, you would use these commands: /scripts/update_local_rpm_versions --edit target_settings.MySQL55 uninstalled /scripts/update_local_rpm_versions --edit target_settings.MySQL51 installed /scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix
    If you want to ensure that MySQL 5.1 is installed during a new installation of cPanel, you can run the following commands: mkdir /root/cpanel_profile vi /root/cpanel_profile/cpanel.config
    Ensure this line is added to the cpanel.config file when editing it: mysql-version=5.1
    You can then proceed with the cPanel installation. Thank you.

    To have cPanel & WHM install MySQL 5.1 during a fresh install, do the following: 1. On your server do: mkdir /root/cpanel_profile 2. Create the following file: touch /root/cpanel_profile/cpanel.config 3. Add your specific MySQL version to that file: echo 'mysql-version=5.1' >> /root/cpanel_profile/cpanel.config 4. Download and run the cPanel & WHM installer.
