Upgraded MySQL and PHP, everything seems to be working except wordpress installations

[shart000]

Hi,

We are running Plesk Reloaded 7.5.4. I followed the instructions found in the forums to upgrade to MySQL 4.1.18 and PHP to the latest ART rpms. Everything seems to be working fine, with one little exception.

Wordpress cannot read from the database, the only commands I used are:

yum upgrade mysql
yum upgrade php
yum install ImageMagick
yum update php-pear

Any ideas what went wrong?

Thank You.
Simon.

Same problem here.. the apache threads actually segfault.

This is a very common problem I'm afraid. I have not been able to resolve it either.

There is a chance that you may have luck by playing around with password types.

You see the passwords stored in previous versions of mysql are different to the newer versions.

See this page:

NOTE: this is from the mysql 5 manual, but it applies just as well to 4.1.x

Please let us know if it works.

Faris.
