Upgraded to 2.9 and MySQL 5.0, lost all posts (2 posts)

    I upgraded to 2.9, then got the error saying it required MySQL 4.1.2 or higher.

    So I created a new MySQL 5.0 DB in my web hosting account, and imported the data from the old 4.0 DB into it. (Only way to do it, according to the web host.)

    Then I edited the wp-config.php file so it points to the new DB. WordPress took this as a new installation. Now my old posts don't load.

    How do I fix this? What step did I miss?

    Thanks.

    I was about to do the same thing until I realized I'd have to figure out a way to import the 4.0 DB into the 5.0 DB... considering some of the feature changes and unknowns, I think I'll wait a while before upgrading to 2.9.
