Upgrade mysql 5.0 to mysql 5.1

[capoinfra]

Hello,

We have a server with php 5.2 and mysql 5.0.
We need to upgrade mysql to 5.1.
It is possible without user's data risk ?

Thank you.-

There is always a risk with any upgrade and so you should dump your databases beforehand, however this is normally a very straightforward upgrade. I'd recommend actually upgrading to 5.5 afterwards whilst you're at it as 5.1 is end of life this year.

Hello

Yes, it's always recommended that you backup your MySQL databases before major upgrades. Remember to use the following option to upgrade MySQL:

"WHM Home » Software » MySQL Upgrade"

This option will warn you of potential issues you may face when upgrading MySQL.

Thank you.
