    Hello,

    In regards to MySQL version, which one is needed to make WP 2.1 run in an optimum environment? Is there a known official position for the above by the WP creators/documents. In addition, what else is needed on the web host server to make WP 2.1 optimum? I am not an expert on the above, but I could at least research my web host for the above. Any suggestions of web host companies who can offer optimum environment for WP? I would like to determine if my current web host versions is outdated and possibly the cause of my WP 2.1 migration issues.

    Thanks for all replies.

    Why not state what your current host has so we can provide feedback? :)

    IIRC, the known offical position of staff is to make is as widely usable as possible and support older versions of MySQL. The 2.0.x line still supported the MySQL 3.x servers although I note that WP 2.1 is listed as being at least MySQL 4.2.

    Also getting teh best prefornance out of MySQL, is more related to how you have it setup, not just teh version number. You can get a lot more out of it usually with a few changes within the my.cnf file.

    Hoep this helps,

    Ok, unfortunely you need to tell us what they have so we can help. Only you can do that since you're the one who has the account and the only who has access to that information.

    Thanks for your patience. Here is what I have as data:

    General server information:
    Operating system Linux
    Kernel version 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp
    Machine Type i686
    Apache version 1.3.37 (Unix)
    PERL version 5.8.7
    PHP version 4.4.2
    MySQL version 4.1.21-standard-log
    cPanel Build 10.9.0-RELEASE 57
    Theme cPanel X v2.6.0

    Where do I find the minimum requirements documentation for WP 2.1? What is the consequence if my server does not meet WP 2.1 requirements?

    Go top of this page: About > Requirements
    you should arrive here: http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

    If your server does n't meet the requirements - do not install 2.1. That simple.
