Cannot Update to 3.2 on Media Temple!

Upload a phpinfo page to your site. If it says MySQL 4.1.25 there, send the link to Media Temple customer service so they can see.

To create a phpinfo page, put this line in a file called test.php (or any other name with a .php extension):

<?php phpinfo() ?>

After uploading it, view the page in your browser. For example: https://www.yoursite.com/test.php

You will see all your server specs there, including PHP & MySQL version.

Just did… PHPINFO – says 5.0.32 there too!

That’s odd, then. I’m flagging this thread so a WP dev can have a look.

PHP 5.0.32 isn’t good enough. You need 5.2.4 or later.

@zoonini: Might be worth removing the needs-dev flag for the time being?

The WORDPRESS install says you only need 5.0 or higher :

You cannot update because WordPress 3.2 requires MySQL version 5.0 or higher. You are running version 4.1.25.

I thought the OP was saying his phpinfo file displays the MySQL version as 5.0.32.

shawnsandy05 – can you provide a link to your phpinfo page?

INFO: [removing link for security reasons for now – zoonini]

Indeed, looks like you’ve got MySQL 5.0.32 running.

I’m re-flagging this with needs-dev for now.

@zoonini Thnx, was a bit worried about that link…

Will attempt a manual upgrade on a staging site and see what happens…

So far the manual install worked I will continue testing for errors
@esmi download says it requires

MySQL 5.0.15 or greater (old requirement – since WordPress 2.9 was MySQL 4.1.2 or greater)

If necessary, submit a support request to (mt) — they’re happy to help.

@andrew : Does not seem that it is an MT problem as the manual install works so far and my database is using 5.0.32, 5.0.15 is required by WP 3.2… so I just cannot update using the WordPress auto update feature because it detects the incorrect version of MYSQL…

I’m on MT and having the exact same problem. It’s stating that I’m running MySQL 4.1.25 but that’s really the version of Debian Linux that the server is running!
I would REALLY appreciate if someone has a solution for this, even a hack…

As suggested above, contact Media Temple.

I’ve contacted MT but this doesn’t seem to be a host problem, all previous versions of WordPress upgraded just fine. Plus, if you look at my screenshots, you’ll see that WordPress is detecting the wrong number for MySQL version! It’s pretty obviously a WordPress issue.
