Let us know how it goes;):)

Satan

No problems yet :)

The install went smoothly, and everything seems to work fine so far, but I haven't logged into the Admin CP yet :p

Note this is a beta version. It should NOT be used in production or even semi-production web sites. There are known bugs in it, and in addition, some of the features may change (based on feedback).

The MySQL client libraries have been GPL'd. That means people that make a living creating PHP/MySQL based solutions that they wish to remain proprietary are forced to buy a license from MySQL to get around the GPL stipulation that there code must be open. This situation may change as there is talk between the PHP dev team and MySQL to work on a solution that may exempt PHP. It's still up in the air, but until a conclusion is reached, MySQL is no longer bundled. SQLite is really not a database, but an SQL interface for a flat file. MySQL is overkill for most sites anyways. It's extremely fast and it can be run anywhere. The host doesn't need a database installed. So for most sites that don't really need all that a RDBMS can offer, or their host isn't capable of providing it, SQLite is really a great alternative. Good for hosts as well.

What version of MySQL are you using?
