Question PHP/MYSQL versions seem ok, but install failed?

Hi, new here... the following shows up after I install Kunena 1.08 on one of my Joomla 1.0.15 folders:

But when I check my domain's phpinfo.php, the versions are:
PHP Version 5.0.5
MYSQL Client API version 5.0.45

Is my Mysql really at 4.1.22? I tried both the upload and the ftp path component installation, but they both end up the same error. I checked the Kunena menu in backend and it doesn't look right. What am I missing? I am using Siteground shared hosting.

The mysql client isnt the same as the mysql server! The client is the program you use to connect to the database (mysql) server. Update your mysql server.

Here is a correct way of checking your database version, posted by fixstein:

Hi

I have mysql version 4.1.18-log

I got the same error after install. But i think it might be hard to get my host to change mysql version...

Is there anyway to make it compatible with my version?

Thanks for helping

@gero9mo: the easiest and quickest way to get your webhosting service to toe the line, is to tell them of your complaint and, if they don't upgrade, go elsewhere. Webhosting services are "as cheap as" these days.

Answer to your question: NO!

Fireboard that Kunena is build uppon had big speed issue for high traffic sites. To optimize the SQL queries, functionality only available in MySQL ver. >= 5 is used.

The technical requirement is there for a reason!

Here's a question. If someone has a site running in Mysql 4.x.x and wants to upgrad to a later version of Kunena/firboard (or ANY software for that matter), but the latest version requires mysql 5.x.x is there any way at all to convert to the latest mysql before upgrading? If it is possible, what kind of mess are we talking about?

Thanks.
