PHP 5.1 and MySQL 4.1

[Matt]

You can convert to 4.1 if you like, but the conversion is not backwards compatible so if you think you might want to go back to 4.0 (I don't see why there would be a need after a several successful upgrades) you should have your backups ready.

Most of your users will have authentication issues with their applications because the login style to mysql has changed.
To deal with that:

1. You can enable old style passwords or
2. Use the new style passwords and go into the config.php files and update them for the new format.

My vote is number 2, for numerous reasons.

All servers that are currently running MySQL 4.0 will be upgraded this month to 4.1 as a preliminary step towards support of PHP5+MySQL 5

cPanel and MySQL have had some compatibility issues lately, and as soon as these are resolved we plan to start the conversion to 4.1 for any remaining servers not currently on the mysql 4.1 tree.

This will bring us one step closer to PHP5 support that some of you have requested.

Matt,

I'm already on 4.1.19 but still using the old style passwords. What else would be affected other than config.php?
