I am trying to install drupal 5.1 on a linux server with mysql 5.0.27-1.fc5 and I recieve this error:

Unsupported database type
The database type is unsupported. Please use either mysql for MySQL 3.x & 4.0.x databases, mysqli for MySQL 4.1.x+ databases, or pgsql for PostgreSQL databases. The database information is in your settings.php file.

Does anyone know what to do?
The installation accepted my database name and pw.

The permissions for the site/default folder were not set correctly. Thanks anyway

Hi,

I've read your post regarding the unsupported database, installing the sam mysql version that you installed. I am new with drupal, what did you set on the permissions for the site/default folder. iam running under fedora core linux. hoping for your response.

thanks.
