Thank you for the reply. So that forces the question is it a simple matter of backing up the site db, uninstalling the current MySQL and simply reinstalling the new ver and popping the db back in?
Is there any config file I need to edit in XOOPS itself?
That sounds right. In my case, it was a clean install of a new O/S, so I didn't need to uninstall the old version of MySQL. The XOOPS configuration doesn't need changing.

hhmmm so does that mean I should upgrade to the latest 4.x series rather then the 5.x branch?
If I understand you you are saying the 4.x and 5.x use a different data format and cant read each others data?
Some people have posted here that they've had conflicts with MySQL 5, but I haven't encountered any problems.
MySQL 5 can import a MySQL 4 backup. If you make a backup from MySQL 5 for import into MySQL 4, you need to specify compatibility mode.
