Install error with MySQL

are you POSITIVE thats the version you are running?

That is what is reported in phpMyAdmin

crack open wp-includes/upgrade-functions.php

scroll down to line 1107

you’ll be right in the middle of the small function that checks your MySQL version

immediately after this line:

if ( version_compare($mysql_version, '4.0.0', '<') )

put this:

echo $mysql_version;

and see what that comes back with.

Made the code change. In the wp-admin folder, not wp-includes folder. Well, it ran perfect this time. Did not report back the version number. So, who knows why it ran this time? Go Figure. Thanks for your help. I did call my service provider to confirm the MySQL version … they confirmed the version number.

You cant just add a call to report back a variable like that just anywhere since it doesn’t know how to get the variable. .. which is why i suggested putting it where I suggested ??

No worries as you installed it though. Good luck ??

In the future, if you are ever curious, and want to see the MySQL version in the footer or somewhere else, you have to tell it how to get the version:

<?php
$mysql_version = preg_replace('|[^0-9\.]|', '', @mysql_get_server_info());
echo $mysql_version;
?>
