I’ve update my DB (to 5.1) but during installation I still have this proble:

#

Checking MySQL client version: Failed!

MODx will have issues on your MySQL version (5.0.51a), because of the many bugs related to the PDO drivers on this version. Please upgrade MySQL to patch these problems. Even if you choose not to use MODx, it is recommended you upgrade to this version for the security and stability of your own website.

Can you help me?

Thanks

You’ll need to recompile PHP with the appropriate MySQL libraries for the new version (or get the appropriate dll if this is Windows). It’s still using the MySQL client libraries from 5.0.51. There are other threads here regarding this already, including tips on how to bypass the client version check...

I thought I just did? You have to update your PHP environment to use the MySQL client libraries for the version of MySQL server you upgraded to. Are you using XAMPP? Have you searched for posts regarding this error that already exist here in the forums? I googled this for you and got pages of results for this issue.

I’m working with Windows too - and I just downloaded the newest version of XAMPP for Windows:

I don’t think I needed to do anything complicated to get MODx Revo working in that environment.

Sorry, I have no experience with IIS, but perhaps one of the following links is useful for you:
