version 4.1.21-standard

I understand what you're saying... for some reason I can import a hundred sites and not have a problem, but this one always gives me issues - not sure what it is.

I am using 5.0.45 are there any known issues with version 5+?

(sorry not trying to Hijack the thread)

nope -- i'd highly recommend going to latest (release) of mysql.. same for apache and php..

i run all of em on my sites.

Agreed - no problems for me either. I had my hosting provider put me on another server that was running the latest versions and all works for me.

i'd also recommend Linux box vs Windows box, if at all possible.. many reasons for this..

some peeps may not be able to change OSes, but if you are starting fresh, go *Nix

Server 2008 is looking pretty suite
