I've tried installing MediaWiki 1.6.5 (and 1.6.6)
using the web installer

The support people at my hosting provider insist they're running 4.0.20 (and
according to
http://hppchristianhosting.com/phpinfo.php, that seems to be
true).
All that page shows is what version of the client libraries PHP is linked
against. The actual MySQL server could have a higher or lower version.
Do you have access to something like phpMyAdmin, or direct access to the mysql
command-line client on a login?
Connect to your database and issue this query:
SELECT VERSION();
It should return something like this:
mysql> select VERSION();
+-----------------+
| VERSION() |
+-----------------+
| 5.0.21-standard |
+-----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
If that comes back with 3.23.58, then you need to give this information to your
support guys and ask them why the server is actually running older software than
they're claiming.
If it comes back with 4.0.20, then we can dig deeper and see what's going on.
