Okay, I finally got through the MySQL upgrade from 3.53 to 4.17. I pretty much uninstalled 3.53 and reinstalled 4.17, which went fairly smoothly except for one hiccup. When trying to upgrade the php-mysql package, I got an error stating dependecy on libmysqlclient.so.10. I found this to be detrimental for any php with mysql code. To fix this, the legacy libraries need to be put back into place by installing the MySQL-shared-compat package. For 4.17, the package can be found here. After this package was installed, everything worked as it should (from what I could tell).
