Problem updating to WordPress 3.4

    I’m trying to update my online newspaper (www.northwestcaterer.co.uk) to WordPress 3.4 but continually get the error message:

    You cannot update because WordPress 3.4 requires MySQL version 5.0 or higher. You are running version 4.1.22.

    I contacted my hosting company who migrated the site to a different server running the required PHP and MySQL but it didn’t work. I’ve seen the server details and it is definitely running PHP 5.39 and MySQL 5.5.20 but still I can’t update.

    Any advice or assistance with this problem would be gratefully received.

    You have to double check again with your hosting provider whether the MySQL version fits to the requirement or not. Otherwise you can try do a manual update via FTP.

    Thanks Richard – I’ll check again with the hosting company (if only so they can confirm the version doesn’t comply with the WP requirements!) and also consider a manual update, which I think is frought with dangers, especially for a non-tech person like me! (When you say via FTP am I right in thinking that means downloading the version and then re-installing over the old one?) Cheers, Julian
