Initial Configuration problems with MySql 3.23

Hello all,

I treid to install OpenFire server on slackware machine with MySQL 5.x. I found that I have to comment out line in startup script: SKIP="–skip-networking" to avoid Connection error…

But now I need to setup OpenFire on fedora machine with MySQL 3.23 (I know very old but another applications are based on it) and as there is no such option I can not pass the configuragion step. Another strange think is that nothing is written in error.log now…

The error message I received is: A connection to the database could not be made. View the error message by opening the “/logs/error.log” log file, then go back to fix the problem.

Any hints (just do not use 3.23 version )
