How to update mySQL to version 5.6?

[jeremyotten]

Ok here are the steps that I used.
First you have to update from 5.1 to 5.5

//Add Remi Repo
# wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise...ease-6.rpm
# rpm -Uvh remi-release-6*.rpm


// Update to PHP 5.6.8
# yum --enablerepo=remi-php56,remi update php\*

Update to Mysql 5.5.43
# yum --enablerepo=remi install mysql mysql-server

Works like a charm.

Then you have to use this to update 5.5 to 5.6
update naar 5.6
wget https://repo.mysql.com/mysql-community-release-el6.rpm
rpm -Uvh mysql-community-release-el6*.rpm
yum update
N
yum update mysql
Y

chkconfig --level 345 mysqld on
reboot

My servicedesk app worked.. and could be updated to latest version.
Sentora panel also worked.

And I was able to create a database through the interface.
Only thing that did not work was creating a Mysql user.

I got an Internal server error. Please assist in solving this.
