unable to login phpmyadmin after php update

[snaaps]

Hello,

some days ago whe have updated php to php5.
whe dont have update mysql4 tot mysql5 because that will crash all joomla database.
(whe will do that later..)

Now when you try to login phpmyadmin you will get the message:
U moet opwaarderen (upgraden) naar MySQL of hoger.
(u must upgrade to mysql or higher)

Is there a way to disable this security so people can login into mysql or must i mysql upgrade to version 5?

We have updated our systems from PHP4/MySQL4 to PHP5/MySQL5 like 1 or 1.5 years ago without any problems.

Most of our customers are also using Joomla.
I can remember that if you update MySQL he also converted MySQL4 tables/databases to MySQL5 and the passwords.

Maybe someone can confirm that.
You can also backup the /var/lib/mysql to /root/backup-mysql and try to update MySQL and see if that works. You can also enable the mysql backup option in options.conf
