3.6.0 and MySQL

[Peter Walker]

Hi,
when downloading, I saw that vb 3.6.0 requires PHP 4.3.3 and MySQL 4.0.16.

I checked my server and it is running PHP 4.3.3 and MySQL 4.0.15.

Can I still install vb 3.6.0 successfully or will the system fail due to differences between MySQL 4.0.15 and 4.0.16?

What are the differences which make this a requirement?

How easy would it be to upgrade my Suse Linux server to a higher MySQL version and which version would be the best?

Hey,

I also kind of have that problem, the php running on my shared hosting is only 4.4.2 instead of 4.4.3. Does this just mean that some security flaws may still be intact with that version of php or that vbulletin will just muck up completely if i try to use it with it?

My mysql version is fine :-)

The minimum php is 4.3.3 - php 4.4.2 is higher than 4.3.3 so that's ok.

I would say that Jelsoft are stating 4.0.16 for a reason. I would not install vB 3.6 until your host has updated MySQL.

Sorry i don't have my head on today ;p

Slightly newer versions of mysql databases tend to have slightly different functions sometimes and different bug fixes. But these slightly different functions could cause a difference, so just wait for Jelsoft ^^
