 * I’ve never had a problem installing wordpress and just tried and now I’m getting
   the following error:
 * ERROR: WordPress 2.3.1 requires MySQL 4.0.0 or higher
 * I have had wordpress installed on this same box before with no issues and my 
   SQL version is 4.3.2
 * My first install was the latest wordpress version (2.3.2) which did not work 
   so I tried the last 2.3.1 with the same problem..
 * Anyone have this error before or know what it causing it? I even tried to create
   a new database and that did not work either.

 * Anyone on this???
 * Can I use a somewhat older version of WP for now until I get the new sql on here?
   If so, what is the latest version?

 * right at the top — listed branches. 2.1 is actually 2.1+

 * Look at the “legacy 2.0 branch”
