MySQL Client connector too old? (Not XAMPP Related) [SOLVED]

[georghill]

Hi,

Having used XAMPP succesfully as a development environment for several years now, I faced now for first time an issue that stopped me installing a well known software.

I tried to install OXID-sales ecommerce software to XAMPP 1.7.7 but OXID's setup refused to instal, claiming I (e.g xampp) has >"too old mysql client connector".

Xampp 1.7.7 has version 5.0.8 but oxid requires at least version 5.0.33 of the mysql client connector.

Compared to the fact that in general Xampp has the latest components, I was surpriced about this issue.

Is there a quick fix available and/or advice how to upgrade just the client to a more recent version?

thanks in advance

Hi georghill,

This problem is well known on the oxid sales support board. My bad i can only quote from a german post in this board http://www.oxid-esales.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12729

You can:

• stay with an older version of the oxid shop (e.g. 4.5.5)
• copy and replace the /core/oxsysrequirements.php from Oxid 4.5.5 with your current
• copy the function

  Code: Select all

  if (strpos($sClientVersion, 'mysqlnd') !== false) {
    // PHP 5.3 includes new mysqlnd extension
    $iModStat = 2;
}

  from an older /core/oxsysrequirements.php to the current one
  (I can't help you with that, i haven't got OXID shop on my system)

Maybe you can get more help on the Oxid support board

best wishes,
Altrea

Hi,

exactly. It's an issue that is already fixed and will be published with the next patch OXID eShop version 4.5.7 soon (by end of January). Please have a look at this bug entry incl. comments: http://goo.gl/XcqAf
Sorry for any inconvenience - apparently, I was led astray a bit. At the end of the day, it is _not_ a XAMPP issue.

Regards
Marco
