Someone sent me an export .sql from a wordpress blog runing with mysql 4.1.2
I was able to import and the tables and content looked in in mysql 5.0.45, and wordpress does NOT complain of connection error. I too, am staring at blank pages.
I read somewhere the other day something about a mysql 5.0.4? problem with “order of tables” but I haven’t been able to find it again.
