After getting PHP 5.1.6 installed on my server, I ran the ee_wizard and it reported that MySQL (Version 4.1+) is not supported in PHP. But the MySQL server and client versions are 5.0.45.

It also reported that it was “unable to select your database” (when I use “localhost” as the MySQL Server Address).

The path to phpMyAdmin is

<a href="http://dedicatedservername/MyAdmin/index.php">http://dedicatedservername/MyAdmin/index.php</a>

I tried using part and all of this URL as the MySQL Server Address and got a slightly different error message: “Unable to connect to your database server.”

PhpMyAdmin shows the database name as _org_-_databasename. The “_org_-_” is a prefix used for all my databases. I tried use the full database name with the prefix and just databasename (without the prefix) but nothing has worked.

How do I get this resolved?

One more FYI: I am able to log in to my EE 1.6.9 cp and publish a post with the system as it is now.

Stoelting,

To confirm. You are planning an upgrade from EE1.6.9 to EE2.x?

For you database details, open up system/config.php in your EE1.6.9 site and you will find the correct details there. Other than that you will need to ask your host about this

The message refers to MySQL being supported in your version of PHP. It doesn’t refer to your MYSQL being the incorrect version

Just to confirm… EE2 will work with MySQL v5.0.45, correct?

EE1.6.9 had been working fine with this version of MySQL and PHP 4x. And it still works with MySQL v5.0.45 (not changed) after my server was updated to PHP 5.1.6.

Hi Robert,

Yep, EE 2.x will work with MySQL 5. Have you got this working correctly now?

Yes, this is working now. The only remaining problem is the images not showing up which is being dealt with on another thread. Thanks for your help.

Hi Robert,

Excellent. I’ll go ahead and close this thread now then.

Cheers
