Is mySQL 5 recommended or required?
September 08, 2008, 10:57:35 am
I'm interested in using civiCRM 2.1 with Drupal 6, but my web server is only running mySQL 4.1.11. Can I install civiCRM at all? If so, is there specific functionality I will loose? MySQL 5 is listed as recommended, but it's not clear exactly what that means.

I suspect 90% of civicrm will work with 4.1. there are some advanced features (multi-lingual comes to mind) that uses mysql5 features like triggers

however the team does not support for mysql 4.1.x installs, so if u have an issue, u'll have to replicate on demo and/or help debug and fix it

Has anyone successfully installed CiviCRM 2.1 with mySQL 4.x? Any words of wisdom? Am I just asking for trouble?

I'm running 2.1 with MySQL 4.1.2 and am having lots of database errors. Wouldn't recommend it.

Upgrade to PHP 5 and above and Apache 2 and above and you shouldn't have a problem using the latest version of CiviCRM. I was unable to install it about 2 months ago. I tried on several occassions. Most recently, I upgraded and I'm able to use it now.
