upgrading a site from 0.9.6.3 to Evo 1.0.2 which is running in mysql4

Hi all

I have a site i need to upgrade from 0963 to Evo 102 which is running in mysql4 on a 1&1 server.

Server specifics are:
-- Server version: 4.0.27
-- PHP Version: 4.3.10-200.schlund.1

Is the old version of mysql going to be a problem for Evo 102?

I’ve tested this locally in XAMPP importing the v4 live database into v5 locally and the upgrade worked fine, but i’m a bit wary (to say the least) of doing this on the live site.

Ideally i want to migrate the live site to mysql5 but right now a standard upgrade will be the quickest option and I want to do this asap. Can anyone advise on the safest/quickest way to upgrade a site from mysql 4 – 5?

Thanks in advance

Do an SQL dump from v4 and import into a v5 database. Change the config.inc.php file to the v5 database and then run the upgrade.

Thanks, i’ll run with that.
