Magento

I am having this exact same problem:

http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/8063/#t31007

Hostgator support responded :

The server’s php was actually upgraded to php 5.2.6 yesterday (note: Sunday). And mysql upgrade to mysql 5. Is your script compatible with these versions ? These errors seems to be showing due to mysql5.

Magento system requirement said:

• MySQL 4.1.20 or newer

Shouldn’t MySQL 5 works better in this case????

I am afraid Hostgator thinks it’s Magento problem, not the server - but the site worked perfectly OK, and never encounter any system error before. If so I am screwed and stuck :-( The site needs to launch in a week or so.

Is Magento future proof at all as far as server system upgrade concerns?

I don’t think its a magento issue, it may be a software compability issue.

Can your host confirms that the following are installed in the server?

o PDO/MySQL
o mcrypt
o hash
o simplexml
o GD
o DOM
o iconv

I just talked to hostgator as when I installed Magento I got the message that mcrypt and GD were missing.  They told me that you have to actually email them to have these things installed on your server…

Not sure about it though. when I first installed the site months ago, everything was intact, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to develope the site at all.  Hostgator support replied that everything above are installed.

I suspect somehow the server upgrade didn’t go very smooth with Hostgator and some files were missing.

Just saw Moshe’s response in the related issue’s thread. I will check it out.

I believe they left out something during the upgrade.
Maybe you should contact their support department again to confirm about this.

It *may* be an issue from going from MySQL 4 to MySQL 5.  I am trying to take an installation (that used MySQL 4.1 to a new server that has MySQL 5, and I can’t get it to work.  I keep getting errors, and a redirect loop error if I try to run the installer again.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Same issue.
New server, MySQL 5.0.45 installed, all other btis&bobs;are installed as well.
Looks like installer is done for MySQL 4.x & needs to be updated a bit.

I’ve found solution on Lento.pl forum (cheers guys)
Try to install it without mod_rewrite urls.
If you really want to do it - go to .htaccess before as a top line write there:

Save it, send to server, do CHMOD on all files to 777& start installation.

That helped on mine. Now is working perfectly.
