I'm trying to understand how b2evolution uses the MySQL client. Does b2evolution install its own version of the MySQL client during the installation of b2evolution ? Or does it expect the MySQL client to be already installed on the web server before b2evolution is installed ?
How do I find out what version of the MySQL client b2evolution is using ?
Thanks.
b2evolution doesnt use a mysql client.
a mysql client would be something YOU would use to connect remotely to a mysql server from your pc.
there are a gazillion hits via google on the error you mentioned in the other thread.

some of those are related to what php version is being used, atleast one top one references a .dll issue with boxes running IIS.
Im moving this since its really related to your other thread, and you ought to have just asked over there, in fact you did. On second though, i cant seem to move the damn thing.
