Full Version: MySQL 5.5 upgrade assistance

I need some guidance in regards to upgrading to MySQL 5.5 from MySQL 5.0.96 using cPanel.

I've never done a MySQL upgrade and just want to cover all my bases to upgrade without any issues. I am wondering what the proper procedure is? A basic checklist.

-Do I shutdown the board via htaccess?
-If I have a couple InnoDB tables will they cause any problems?

I almost went through with the upgrade but stopped at step 3 "Unattended Upgrade" or "Attended Upgrade" as I didn't know what to expect if I chose the "Unattended ---- Rebuild Apache and PHP automatically with last saved defaults."

I'm sure I am over-thinking this as I tend to do a lot but oh well.

Thank you,

Jeremy

Anyone? Any help would be appreciated. I know this is a MySQL specific question but I am asking the MyBB community for their guidance.
