on Windows Xp + IIS 5.1 mediawiki doesnt detects MySQL 5.0 instead it uses MySQL 4.0 script for creating tables. I manually changed path from config/index.php to mysql5 directory now I am getting errors like.. Creating tables... using MySQL 4/5 table defs...Query "CREATE TABLE `user` ( user_id int(5) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, user_name varchar(255) binary NOT NULL default '', user_real_name varchar(255) binary NOT NULL default '', user_password tinyblob NOT NULL '', user_newpassword tinyblob NOT NULL '', user_email mediumtext NOT NULL '', user_options blob NOT NULL '', user_touched char(14) binary NOT NULL default '', user_token char(32) binary NOT NULL default '', user_email_authenticated CHAR(14) BINARY, user_email_token CHAR(32) BINARY, user_email_token_expires CHAR(14) BINARY, user_registration CHAR(14) BINARY, PRIMARY KEY user_id (user_id), UNIQUE INDEX user_name (user_name), INDEX (user_email_token) ) TYPE=InnoDB, DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 " failed with error code "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''', user_newpassword tinyblob NOT NULL '', user_email mediumtext NOT NULL '', ' at line 5 (localhost)". how to fix it?
* Don't change important scripts and then whine when things break, it's rude * If PHP is "finding" MySQL 4.x as opposed to 5.x, then it was built against an older version of MySQL; on Windows, you'll have to upgrade PHP
I have PHP 5
Please restate the problem, then, in clear and comprehensible English.
That's the MySQL 5 schema being listed in the error message; that'll only work with MySQL 4.1 or higher. Given the above error, you probably have MySQL 4.0 server. (Note that that's no the same as having MySQL 5.0 client libraries, or having PHP 5.0) Resolving INVALID.
Brion, your ability to translate from complete gibberish continues to amaze me.
ok, I'm restating the problem.If you don't understand please say so.

This is a known issue which has been dealt with separately. As a workaround, turn off "strict mode" in MySQL.
