error on install - DB version of smf 2

[seasun]

I'm getting an error when installing smf 2 and so i'm confused about the needed version of Mysql and php. I get this error message:

Critical Error!
The version of your database server is very old, and does not meet SMF's minimum requirements.

My server has mysql 4.1.20 and php 4.4.3 with the php mysql extension at 5.0.67

From the Requirements smf page:

The following are required on any server intending to run SMF 2.0.

    * PHP 4.1.0 or higher
   
    * One of the following databases must be installed.
          o MySQL 4.0.18 or higher (at least 4.1.0 would be better) and PHP MySQL client API 4.0.18 or higher.

looks to me that it should work...

what version of the php mysql client api is your server running? please post a link to a php info file. What is a phpinfo() file?

[seasun]

ahh that would be it.

Client API version    3.23.49

I'm not sure what the difference is between the client API version and the mysql module version but i'll ask my server host

[Illori]

the client api is not new enough for the install to complete.
