 * I upgraded manually from 2.8 to 3.0.1. The website itself looks fine but when
   I try to get into the Admin I’m blocked by this message:
 * You cannot upgrade because WordPress 3.0.1 requires MySQL version 4.1.2 or higher.
   You are running version 4.0.27.
 * Help!!!

 * OK, I downloaded version 2.8 and installed it, so now everything is functional
   again. However, I would like to go back to the latest version. What do I have
   to do to upgrade MySQL?
