My webhost just updated my server's version of MySQL so I can use WordPress 3.2.1. I can see in phpMyAdmin that I'm now running MySQL 5.1.52-1.
However, when I try to update WordPress, I still get the message:
"You cannot update because WordPress 3.2.1 requires MySQL version 5.0 or higher. You are running version 4.1.22."
I contacted my hosting company just to be certain and they insist that everything has been changed over; the fact that I can see the version number for the database in phpMyAdmin make me pretty certain that I'm running the correct version of MySQL.
So why can't WordPress see it? I tried to do a manual update but WordPress is still incapable of recognizing that I'm running a compatible version of MySQL.
Any thoughts?
