Re: Upgrading MySQL
I was so delighted to have finally (after 3 very long days) successfully installed the latest versions of Apache, MySQL and PHP (and phpMyAdmin) without the help of a third-party package (I've used Apache2Triad, Xampp, and a couple others) that I brazenly scoffed at the notion that I might not get Zen Cart to work with MySQL 5!
I started my Zen Cart voyage with version 1.3.7, after having played with literally dozens of other ecom packages, and found it to be far superior to anything else out there. The overrides system is terrific, support via the FAQs, Wiki, How-To's, Hoek's book and the forums is second-to-none, and many of the add-ons are ingenious and well-written. Problems with MySQL 5 - bah, humbug!
I agree it would be great if all mods at least tried to emulate the format, protocol and quality of some of the best, but considering the complexities and "demographics" of the open source world, that's probably too much to ask. So, lesson learned - test, test again, then test one more time!

Why is it I'm always surprised when something actually works?
