Getting ready to upgrade drupal 4.7 to 6, thought I should go ahead and convert db from MySQL 4.0 to 5. Have run Jose Reyeros 'utf8upgrade' module/script on 4.0 db and then used my hosting company's (icdsoft) convert script. Things seem ok, data looks ok, but when I change my settings to use converted db I get warning "Unable to connect to database". Have tried several times. I am following the documentation (but I don't have shell access, and my db is to large too import through phpMyAdmin).
Any ideas?
Would I be better off following the drupal upgrade path to 6, and then converting the db?
(edit)
resolved:
$db_url = 'mysqli:/...';
didnt know i needed the "i" there
