I received this error after a fresh install.

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /hsphere/local/home/lizzy/lb.viktm.com/roster/settings.php on line 22

I've confirmed that the tables have been created and that there is data in the table.

I need to know if this error is because of not running the pre-requisite 4.0.4 for mySQL server and client. I believe my server is 4.0.4 and the client is 3.23.69.

If it's because of the version, I have to ask why during the initial installation process does the database type dropdown say mySQL 3/4/5? If anything, 3 should not be there at all. Why not do a check before allowing the installation to proceed if you don't meet the pre-reqs? Obviously the installation process can connect to the database since the tables have been created. It wouldn't make sense that the app can't read the tables that it created.

Oh dang, mysql 3 is a typo...

And the installer doesn't check that because some have reported that mysql 3 works in the past

1.5.1 and 1.6 worked with MySQL 3 if you changed the SQL files.

Both 1.5.1 and 1.6.0 worked just fine on this same system without any modifications. I'm just trying to find out if the error I'm seeing on the new 1.7.0 is simply because of my current version of mySQL or if it's a bug in the current version of roster.

Well, upgrading with mysql3 works just fine; I did it twice. But I didn't try any fresh installs. (Maybe that's a hint? )

My vote is that it's a bug.

I was able to take the conf.php from my existing 1.6.0 install and the mySQL tables and do an upgrade and it worked. That means from a fresh install, something is missing that already exists in either the conf.php file or in the existing mySQL tables.
