    Many thanks to Michaelh.

    The WordPress upgrade process on Yahoo Web Hosting is really very simple and pretty fast.

    Do everything as instructed in the upgrade instructions in the codex but
    Before you run the upgrade.php YOU NEED TO EDIT THE wp-config.php FILE.

    Delete this line:

    Define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); //Added by WP-Cache Manager

    From the wp-config.php file.
    (you no longer need it for 2.1.s and it might screw things up if it is there)

    Save the changes to the wp-config.php file.

    Make a copy of the now edited file some place else or with a different name. You will copy this file back to the blog directory after the upgrade is complete.

    Edit wp-config.php and replace the DB_USER and DB_PASSWORD with your yroot user name and your yroot password. (yroot password explaination can be found at http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/mysql/mysql-09.HTML )

    Copy the wp-config.php file that has the yroot name and password in it into the Blog directory

    Run the upgrade.php as instructed in the codex.

    After the upgrade is completed just replace the wp-config.php file with the yroot user with the wp-config.php that has your original username and password and the WP_CACHE line deleted.

    That is it!

    I had to think about it a while but that is the way to go. The http://wordpress.org/support/topic/27367 thread had lots of information on the database abstraction library (‘adodb’).

    Otto42 & Kafkaesqui thank you both for the solution.
