Mysql client to old but not server

by **cwpc** » Tue Jan 08, 2008 2:18 am

My install was working, and i tried to do a clean install of the latest version from the SVN and get

Installation Note
MySQL server version 4.1.0 or higher is required for Roster.

You are running:
Your server version: 5.0.51-log
Your client version: 4.0.25
MySQL versions less than 4.1.0 may experience data corruption and are not supported.
We will not provide support for these types of installations.

Anything i can do?

It shouldn't be stopping on a low client version

Maybe the -log is messing up the version check?

cwpc: Split for clarity. You're misreading, though I agree the wording may be vague. Only server version > 4.1 is required. However, I strongly recommend you ask your host to upgrade the mysql client, because running the mysql client and server with a differing major version number is bound to cause trouble.

Zanix: suffixes like -log do not influence the version check.

Answer from my host

With 1&1 Linux hosting packages you have the choice between PHP 3, PHP 4 and
PHP 5. To distinguish a script as PHP 5, simply name the script with the file
extension .php5.

While the PHP developers have done their utmost to ensure compatibility, we cannot
guarantee that PHP 4 scripts will function 100% correctly under PHP 5.

Please note that in contrast to PHP 4, the default for the variable RegisterGlobals
is "off".

By default Apache uses PHP 4 for .php extension. If you don't want to rename all your
scripts to .php5 you can do the following:
Create a .htaccess file and place the following line AddType x-mapp-php5 .php in it.

This will tell Apache to use PHP 5 instead of PHP 4 for the extension .php in the
directory the .htaccess is placed and all sub-directories under it.

php does not equal mySQL

Your host responded with a way to use php5, not a fix for your mySQL problem

they might have updated the client in their install of php5 but not their install of php4.

just a possibility.

It's listing server version 5.x. Roster should install if the server version matches. Are you sure there is no continue button on the screen you're ending up on?
