I just performed an WordPress auto-upgrade to version 2.9 [1].
Version 2.9 requires MySQL version 4.1.2, and 1&1 was only running version 4.0.27. However, I found out that MySQL 5.0 is also running, so I needed to export the MySQL 4.0 database, create a new MySQL 5.0 database, and import the old data. The details [2] of this, including some editing of the exported SQL commands, can be found on Don Campbell’s blog [2].
If you notice any errors on this blog, please let me know.
PS: Happy new year.
