Is there an automatic installer that will take us laggers up to the last update of WP before you all jumped to the PHP and MySQL change over? If I could find that version of WP, I believe that would be 3.1.3, I could manually install except that this will screw up any further automatic installs that could be done in the future. It would be great if you added one more button to the Update panel that was for automatic install up to that change.

If this is not possible, how can I get a copy of 3.1.x?

Thank you for your response.

Can someone be specific as to what new feature(s) 3.2 has which specifically require MySQL 5?

Since then, I’ve had various issues uploading pictures, both through the website and through the iPhone app. It now appears there is a size restriction when uploading photos through the website. Despite my best attempts, nothing I do seems to fix it. I just get an error message when uploading pictures.

And the iPhone routinely locks up when I attempt to upload a picture, only to find it’s available in the Media Library when I check on the actual website.

I’ve also noticed that automatic updates no longer work, for anything – WordPress itself, plugins, themes, etc. Anytime I try the automatic update, it just sits on the window that reads, “Downloading update from…”, but it never moves past that. When I FTP to my site, I can see the files have been downloaded. They just never install.

Any ideas on what the problem could be? Do I have a permissions problem? Did I miss an option when I exported the MySQL4 files then imported them into the MySQL5 database?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

When attempting to activate W3 Total Cache, I get a complaint that it “can’t create table wp3_w3tc_cdn_queue: Invalid default value for ‘date'”

The “default value” attempted is all-zeroes, which is invalid and out of range as far as Traditional/Strict SQL-MODE is concerned.

The only “hacky fix” I’ve found is here which basically says “look for the invalid dates in the code and change them to something valid or remove them by hand.”

That’s nice… until I update the plugin, or have to remove it and bring it back for any reason… it seems really duct-tapey to me.

Is there a config file somewhere I can change to make WordPress default to a sane date (birthday of Von Neumann, or something), or not provide a default date? Or is this type of thing plugin-centric (I post it here in the plugins because of all the plugins I have so far, I’ve only had problems with this one)?

I wish the solutions were better than “hack the code” or “make your server more lenient,” as I’ve got some development databases on the same server, and I’d rather they drop red flags if I do anything that even LOOKS bad before it’s too embedded to do it right

Thanks for your time.

I just uploaded wordpress 2.9.1 to my webserver.

But when i browse to the correct folder i get the following error:

Insufficient Requirements

You cannot install because WordPress 2.9.1 requires MySQL version 4.1.2 or higher. You are running version 4.0.26.

The servers Mysql-version is: 5.0.87-community

I’ve seen a few people mention this here and there when i tried to google it, but i couldn’t really find a fix or a reason for why i get this message. Can anyone here help me?

• IIS 7
• MySQL 5
• PHP 5

My config file is set up properly.

Whenever I attempt to go to /wp-admin/install.php … all I get is this cryptic error message:

Server Error
500 – Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Where am I going wrong?

If simple installation is not working, should it mean I give up my hope of migrating my old WP blogs to MySQL 5?
