Wrong MySQL version

    This is probably a trivial issue to resolve but I an a little worried to try a fix until I research things more thoroughly.

    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.

    My site is hosted by GoDaddy and they simultaneously run multiple versions of mySQL, including v5.

    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.

    Has anyone successfully ported their v4 structure and data to v5 without problems?

    Thanks.

    So, you have a backup of the WordPress MySQL 4 database now on your desktop, and want to know how get it on the MySQL 5 database?

    [You just need the three steps from the top part here. Skip reading the rest, it's an old post.]

    Here's a newer version:

    You could have a problem with character encoding after dumping and restoring, but that can be fixed after you restore the database on the MySQL 5 server.

    There's no porting really. 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.
