# Display problem fixed with "define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', true);"

 * I installed WordPress 4.0 on a laptop running CentOS 6.5, MariaDB, Apache and
   Firefox. I have the latest version of PHP. I am running the NVIDIA graphics driver
   instead of NOUVEAU.
 * I could not use the Dashboard since the display was garbled when trying to view
   a post.
 * After some Google searching, I put “define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true);” in wp-config.
   php and commented out the ‘false’ version.
 * This improved the login screen for Dashboard and the ability to view a post from
   the Dashboard but it still is not right.
 * I also get the message “Warning: mysql_connect(); Headers and client library 
   minor version mismatch. … wp-db.php on line 1409”
 * Are there other fixes beside “define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true);”?
 * Please advise.
 * Thank you,
    Joe

 * this may be an issue using mariadb – wordpress requirements are:
    PHP 5.2.4 or
   greater MySQL 5.0 or greater The mod_rewrite Apache module

 * There are many messages in the WP forums and on the internet indicating that 
   MariaDB is a drop in replacement for MySQL and WP works fine with MariaDB. Many
   Linux distributions are using MariaDB instead of MySQL. I have done a recent 
   WP install with MariaDB.
 * I have done WP installs without installing the mod_rewrite module.
 * I upgraded PHP from 5.3 to 5.4. This change made it worse, the login box for 
   the Dashboard works but it doesn’t look like it should.
 * Now, with the PHP ugrade, “define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true);” or “define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’,
   false);” does not make any difference.
 * I don’t know if my laptop is the problem for this WP install. It is a 4 year 
   old I7 with 8G of memory and a 500G hard drive. It appears to work well.
 * I would really appreciate some suggestions as to whether I should just give up
   on installing WP on my laptop or keep trying.
 * Thank you,
    Joe

 * I tried the Firefox Browser Console and it gives a bunch of errors, all of the
   type:
 * The stylesheet [http://xxxxxx/v1/wp-includes/css/dashicons.min.css?ver=4.0](http://xxxxxx/v1/wp-includes/css/dashicons.min.css?ver=4.0)
   was not loaded because its MIME type, “text/plain”, is not “text/css”.
 * Is there a way I can use this info to fix my display problem?
 * Thank you,
    Joe
