 * Hi,
    I wanted to transfer my localhost site to a shared server at Hostgator. 
   The connection test failed because of server version. localhost: 5.6.16 Hostgator:
   5.5.xx
 * Hostgator support told me “Sorry, there is nothing you can do”.
 * Is there a solution to my problem?
 * Thanks
    Heinz

 * Is it a SQL server or is MySQL something different?

 * Hey Heinzw,
 * If you read the full message its just a notice. The test did not fail its just
   a message indicating the difference. You can still continue with the install 
   process…

 * In the next release I’ll just leave the color black or green vs red. I’m assuming
   the red text threw you off?
