MySQL ver. correct but install fails- OSX

[Ben]

Oh wow, neat! Thanks for the screenshot. Form Tools uses the mysql_get_client_info() function (see here: http://ca2.php.net/manual/en/function.my...t-info.php).

That function SHOULD return a integer-like string of the MySQL number. On your system it's that long string that it outputs in the page. It shouldn't do that!

But if you'd like to just bypass it, you can just hack the code a bit. In your /install/step2.php find these lines:

PHP Code:

// 2. MySQL version (4 or later)
$valid_mysql_version = false;
if (substr(mysql_get_client_info(), 0, 1) >= 4)
  $valid_mysql_version = true; 


and change them to:

PHP Code:

// 2. MySQL version (4 or later)
$valid_mysql_version = true;
//if (substr(mysql_get_client_info(), 0, 1) >= 4)
//  $valid_mysql_version = true; 


I *think* that will let you bypass this problem altogether, but I can't be sure that other problems might not crop up.
