   I tried to install 2.2, but got an error in Step 2 saying that says: ERROR: WordPress 2.2 requires MySQL 4.0.0 or higher.

   I am running MySQL 4.1.20

   So, what do I do now?

   That is what is reported in phpMyAdmin

   crack open wp-includes/upgrade-functions.php

   scroll down to line 1107

   you'll be right in the middle of the small function that checks your MySQL version

   immediately after this line:

   if ( version_compare($mysql_version, '4.0.0', '<') )

   put this:

   echo $mysql_version;

   and see what that comes back with.

   Made the code change. In the wp-admin folder, not wp-includes folder. Well, it ran perfect this time. Did not report back the version number. So, who knows why it ran this time? Go Figure. Thanks for your help. I did call my service provider to confirm the MySQL version ... they confirmed the version number.

   You cant just add a call to report back a variable like that just anywhere since it doesn't know how to get the variable. .. which is why i suggested putting it where I suggested :)

   No worries as you installed it though. Good luck :)

   In the future, if you are ever curious, and want to see the MySQL version in the footer or somewhere else, you have to tell it how to get the version:

   <?php
   $mysql_version = preg_replace('|[^0-9\.]|', '', @mysql_get_server_info());
   echo $mysql_version;
   ?>
