    Hi!
    I have WPAU (WordPress Automatic Upgrade) and ran it this morning to upgrade to 2.9. Little did I know that 2.9 required MySQL 4.1.2 which my webhost does not have. There is either 4.0 or 5.0. I can not directly change the version of MySQL on the database. I have to create a new database with 5.0. I did that and changed the settings in wp-config.php, but then it detected an empty database and wanted to go through the original setup wizard again. I have an SQL export of the old database, but when I try to import it into the new database, it says that the database is being accessed with the credentials for the old database because that is what is in the old file. Basically, I want to move EVERYTHING from the old database to the new one. How would I go about doing so? Thanks! Ross

    Nevermind. I got it. I had to edit the database name in the SQL file.
    Thanks!
