Wordfence fails on install. OpenResty error. Won’t activate.

    My site was loading very slowly so I deactivated all plugins. All good. Then activated only Wordfence. My site was very slow loading again. I deleted WF and though I can install it, it won’t activate. I get:

    An error occurred.

Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable.
Please try again later.

If you are the system administrator of this resource then you should check the error log for details.

Faithfully yours, OpenResty.

    I don’t like having it not working. Any ideas?

    OK. Thanks to my hosting co for telling me that my MySQL database needing upgrading to version 5.6 so all is good now.

    Hi @sam-lowry,

    Thanks for sharing this.

    Indeed, after discussing this issue with my colleagues, it appears it was caused by an outdated version of MySQL on Network Solutions sites (which I assume is your hosting provider).
