Upgrading PHP and MySQL, any required steps?

  • Hi,
    My WordPress site currently runs on PHP 5.3.29 and MySQL 5.1.49.
    I’d like to upgrade both PHP an MySQL to the latest stable version.

    What are the recommended steps to do this? Should I upgrade first MySQL and then PHP? Do I need to backup all SQL data (in a special way?) and reimport it after the upgrade? Or it should “just work” after updating both?
    Thanks

  • I have my sites on shared servers at BlueHost where I have never had any problems after updating the AddHandler code in .htaccess. My current PHP version is 5.4, and I have FastCGI enabled but I have heard FastCGI can be a problem for some plugins.

    # Use PHP54CGI (FastCGI for php 5.4) as default
AddHandler fcgid54-script .php
