Installing MyBB on mySQL 4.0.x

To be able to install MyBB on mySQL 4.0.x, you need to make an alteration to a file first before running the installation script. This is a workaround, and not an alternative - mySQL 4.0 has already reached it's end of life so you really should upgrade as soon as possible.

In ./inc/db_mysql.php, delete/remove or comment out:

if($success && $this->db_encoding)
{
$this->query("SET NAMES '{$this->db_encoding}'");
if($write_success && count($this->connections) > 1)
{
$this->write_query("SET NAMES '{$this->db_encoding}'");
}
}
return $success;

and also:

return " CHARACTER SET {$this->db_encoding} COLLATE {$collation}";

Only if the server has MySQL 4 installed. Considering he bought a brand new server, the latest available release will be at lowest MySQL 5.1.
