MySQL 5 to MySQL 4

Post by tristanlee85 »

I'm currently running ISPconfig with PHP5 and MySQL 5. I'm having issues with X-cart as MySQL5 isn't supported in the version I have, and it's a little out of my league to re-purchase the software just so I can upgrade and use MySQL 5. So, I was wondering how I can switch to MySQL 4 and keep all of my databases currently the way they are, and without losing any information.

I'm running Fedora Core 5.

Well, the table structures of my current databases shouldn't change between MySQL 5 and MySQL 4 because it's tables such as phpBB, X-cart, and a few other databases I've created personally. I know how to dump the tables and all, but how would I go from MySQL 5 to MySQL 4 without screwing up my current setup with ISPconfig?
