Change MySQL from 5.1 to 5.5.

  • I’m trying to change MySQL from 5.1 to 5.5.
    The database is over 50 mb and I can not imported back into a new database using phpMyAdmin due to its size I do have access to SSH but do not know how to use it anyway. So, I’m trying the hard way. using the WP tool export.

    Question: When I export All content using the WP tools is this suppose to also export all Media?

    Thanks again.

    There’s really no need to import/export the DB to upgrade mysql. Shut down the mysql server, udpdate, restart. That’s about it.

    If you want a backup first, use mysqldump to export the databases.

    Describe your hosting environment.

    I don’t think I can do that.. I just have access to phpMyAdmin and that is that.
    If I export and can not import the content since there is a 50 mb limitation. DB is 80 mb

    Databases 2

    Databses

    Thanks
