I have searched the forums here on this topic but most of the information is old enough to leave questions. As of now is it safe to upgrade to mySQL 5.0 in WHM? Are folks still having trouble with fantastico stuff like OSCommerce etc.? Pitfalls?
Thanks in advance!
If you have any accounts that use their own coded PHP/MySQL apps, I would say DON'T DO IT. I have a number of customers who have created their own PHP/MySQL apps, and there are syntax changes (mostly done by lazy coders to begin with) that will break a lot of people's apps.
I got a huge screaming at by a number of customers. I immediately reverted back to 4.1, which was not pretty by the way, so if you're currently on 4.1 and there are no problems, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
