problems with install

[mrred]

Hi i am installing version 1.2.12

onto my webserver (hosted on bluehost) on the initial checks it says my version of MySQL is fine its version 5.1.66

but when i try to setup the database i get an error saying MySQL 4.1.0 or later is required for installation.

I also get an error saying "POSSIBLE PROBLEM -Database user doesn't have access to the database ( )"

I have attached a screen below

Hello

check you used the good login and password with good rights for database

I'm having exactly the same problem with MantisBT-1.2.12

phpMyadmin indicates the user assigned to the bugtracker database has all the proper rights. The password is braindead simple as is the login. (Since it's on a standalone test server I can get away with three letter passwords.)

This is supposed to be simple.

Downloaded 1.2.11 and it went in just fine - with exacly the same credentials that failed on 1.2.12

I had this problem with 1.2.11 on Debian Wheezy, this is a version included with the distro repository. I found this to be a typo in
/usr/share/mantis/www/admin/install.php.

I corrected this by changing the code below by just replacing the '<' to '>'. The function version_compare is applied incorrectly, it returns the error 'MySQL 4.1.0 or later is required for installation.' when the version IS bigger than 4.1.0. After this correction the installation went OK.

----------------------------------------------------------------------- code:

case 'mysql' :
case 'mysqli' :

// due to a bug in ADODB, this call prompts warnings, hence the @
// the check only works on mysql if the database is open
// using default mysql db to test the version
$default_mysql_database = "mysql" ;
@$g_db->Connect ( $f_hostname, $f_admin_username, $f_admin_password,$default_mysql_databas
$t_version_info = @$g_db->ServerInfo ();
if (version_compare ( $t_version_info ['version'], '4.1.0', '<' )) {
$t_error = 'MySQL 4.1.0 or later is required for installation. '.$error_go_back;
}else{
$t_result_validation = '<br /> Running ' . $f_db_type . ' version ' . $t_version_i
}
break;
case 'pgsql' :
case 'mssql' :
case 'db2' :
default :
$t_result_validation = '<br /> Running ' . $f_db_type ;
break;
