# MySQL version… WordPress 2.2

 * Hi all,
 * I had WordPress running fine on my local server, but when I uploaded it and put
   the database content in, it was coming up with Errors. I thought I would just
   delete all the tables and start again with a new installation, but when I went
   to install, I got this:
 * ERROR: WordPress 2.2 requires MySQL 4.0.0 or higher
 * I have checked in phpMyAdmin on the new host, I have the following information:
 * MySQL Version:
    # Server version: 3.23.58-log # Protocol version: 10 # MySQL 
   client version: 4.1.12 # phpMyAdmin – 2.10.1
 * My question is, does WordPress require mySQL version 4.0.0 or higher for the 
   client side or server version? My guess would be server version, as it is generating
   errors.
 * Can someone point me in the direction of a page that gives detailed information
   of the requirements for WordPress 2.2 relating to client and server version of
   mysql?

 * the client stuff is of no consequence.
 * The codex (its linked at the top of every page on this domain –> see “Docs” link)
   provides all of that information and much more.

 * Thanks for your prompt reply.
 * Just to clarify…
 * >> the client stuff is of no consequence.
    I take it that means I don’t need 
   to worry about it. Does that mean that the host I’m using has the correct version
   of mySQL – being that the **Client version is 4.1.12**?
 * If that is the case, any idea why it would be giving me these errors? I have 
   found this page with the requirements, but it doesn’t speak of version 2.2
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Hosting_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Hosting_WordPress)
 * Is there a page available that speaks about version 2.2?
 * Cheers

 * It’s the server that is important. and 3.23.58 isnt going to do it.

 * Just one more question regarding this, can you “downgrade” wordpress from 2.2
   to 2.0? Or do I have to re-install and start again?
 * Cheers
