You just dump the database from MySQL 4, import into a MySQL 5 database, then change the database connection details in your wp-config.php. That's about it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/wrong-mysql-version#post-4309 Sat, 27 Mar 2010 21:16:01 +0000 dpope 4309@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This is probably a trivial issue to resolve but I an a little worried to try a fix until I research things more thoroughly.</p> <p>I bought and successfully installed GF for a single site, with one exception. The Installation Status report showed that I currently am on MySQL Version 4.1.22, but that GF needs v5 or above.</p> <p>My site is hosted by GoDaddy and they simultaneously run multiple versions of mySQL, including v5.</p> <p>I backed up the current database and downloaded the file to my desktop. At this point I am a little lost as to what exactly I need to do next. A little help would be appreciated.</p> <p>Has anyone successfully ported their v4 structure and data to v5 without problems?</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
