Hoster is upgrading MYSQL from 4.0 to 4.1 - What do I do?
My hosting company announced they are upgrading MySQL from v 4.0 to v 4.1 on Oct 1st. I'm running Joomla 1.0.10 on several sites and want to know if there is anything I should be doing to Joomla before or during this upgrade? I understand that Joomla 1.0.10 compatible with MySQL 4.1, but what happens during an in-place upgrade?

Nothing should happen, it should work just fine as long as they dont change your DB tables. I would highly recommend that you dump your tables to a SQL dump file (mysqldump) and backup your public_html directory just in case.

That's a good reminder to back up your site and database periodically. Shouldn't always rely on your hosting service for backups... Especially if you depend on your site for your business.
