# Upgrade error

 * Not sure what version I’m using. I clicked the automatic upgrade option in the
   cp and went through the steps. At the end, I got this error:
 * `You cannot upgrade because WordPress 2.9.2 requires MySQL version 4.1.2 or higher.
   You are running version 4.0.27.`
 * Now I can’t access the cp at all. I went into my db and upgraded to MySQL 5, 
   but nothing has happened.
 * Any suggestions?
