I wouldn’t waste it, our blue cod here in NZ is too nice…
Case closed, I’m going to change host.

I hear ya. But I wont hit him with a stick. He’s a good guy. He just needs to update the MySQL.
Peace

BTW, this is what the tech guy says:

“…I believe the problem my be in the way you are connecting to MySQL. I had a similar problem with phpmyedit and had to hand code the connection code. As it is a shared database you have to make sure the connection code specifies the database name as it tries to connect. Cannot remember exactly but was in there somewhere.”

Thankyou for the clarification

Indeed, the output says

Connected successfully
you are running MySQL 3.23.54-log

I have sent this to the server admin tech guy for comment. Do you think it is their responsibility to sort this out? I shouldn’t have to change any code in the way WordPress connects to these guys database setup should I?
