Description:
Hello!

I installed xampp 1.5.0sp1 on a Win98SE P3 500Mhz PC.
I started apache and MySQL and then http://localhost/phpmyadmin.

The following error message comes:

MYSQLD verursachte einen Fehler durch eine ungültige Seite

With xampp 1.4.16 it works good.

How to repeat:
- install MySQL 5.0.15 on Win98SE (you can use xampp 1.5.0sp1)
- start apache and MySQL
- make any connection to MySQL (http://localhost/phpmyadmin)
- the error comes always

Thank you for a problem report. Would you, please, try to install 5.0.15 with the installer supplied by MySQL, and check if it gives you the same crash upon connection, either with mysql command line or phpmyadmin. How much RAM do you have on the system, by the way?

Hello
I have tried to install 5.0.16 with the installer.
But if I start MySQL it say's "Can't find errormessage...".
The path is right an the file exists.
First I used the "old" my.cnf and my.ini from xampp. Then I make it with the assitence. With Google I can't find a solution that works.

I have 320 MB RAM (=Arbeitsspeicher) installed.

That "Can't find errormessage..." is a new (packaging) problem of 5.0.16 that is under consideration now. 

So, please, try to install 5.0.15 (I know for sure that it works on NT, 2000, XP etc.) and connect using mysql command line. Inform about any results.

Hello

I installed 5.0.15 over the existing mysql version from xampp.
Then I startet mysql with mysql_start.bat (from xampp) and now it works.
So it seems, that the developer from xampp has made a mistake.
I have informed the developer.
If I hear "news" I will report it.
(I hope my english good enough :-)

Thank you for the additional test. 

I'll set this bug report to "Need Feedback" status, so you will be able to repoen it in case of similar crashes with our official binaries. If nothing happen, the report will be closed automatically after 1 month.

No feedback was provided for this bug for over a month, so it is
being suspended automatically. If you are able to provide the
information that was originally requested, please do so and change
the status of the bug back to "Open".

Hello MySQL,

the "problem" is, that the MySQL binaries from XAMPP are build with OpenSSL. So it's not enough  to test the official binaries on Win98/Me...

After some tests I found out that:
- MySQL 5.0.x with OpenSSL is not working on Win98.
- MySQL 5.0.x with yaSSL is working on Win98.
- but MySQL 4.1.x with OpenSSL is working on Win98!
(- on NT/XP MySQL 5.0.x is working well with OpenSSL)

The crash of mysqld only occours when the client close the connection. I think the crash is in a thread, because not the complete mysqld is crashing and you can make a new connection after that (with the same behaviour during a disconnect from this new connection).

Maybe there was some changes in the relevant MySQL code form 4.1.x to 5.0.x?
