UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums Resources and Customizing Admin Zone Latest wamp version.

I just installed the most current wamp version. Which has MYSQL 5.5.8.
I was having problems with the ubb install.
It appears that "MyISAM" is not supported for 5.5.8.
So the install script barks when attempting to create tables.
Am I correct on that assumption?

yes it is supported, but the installer script will have to be modified to specify 'ENGINE=MyISAM', instead of 'TYPE=MyISAM', if you _must_ run it under 5.5.8.

what i do, is simply run any local install script on WAMP with mysql 5.1 enabled, then switch over to 5.5 and poof workie

wamp allows you to have multiple flavors of apache, mysql, php at the same time and to switch between them with mouse clickies

Okay, I guess I need to dig a little to find the setting change.

you right click the little meter icon in the tray

if you have been installing new versions all along, you will see them listed in the popup menu

then you select which one you want and voila

Okay I figured it out.
I followed the upgrade instructions for wamp.
"WARNING : do not try to install WampServer 2 over WAMP5"
So I uninstalled it.
Which deleted my older version of mysql.
So I had to reinstall the addon to be able to select a different version.

yeppers

what i also do is modify the my.ini files to point the mysql data directory to the _same_ place

( my case E:/mysql-data )

so that whenever you change versions, the mysql server will use the same files too
