[Mediawiki-l] Re: 1.5.2 problems with MySQL 5.0.16?

Well, I touched the GRANT table for the MySQL user for this site, and  
re-loaded, and now it gets a bit further. Instead of a stack trace, I  
now get the following:

> Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.

Does this suggest anything?

Again, this site (www.EcoReality.org) was working fine with MySQL  
4.0.16, and my other wikis that are at MW1.4 are working fine with  
MySQL 5.0.16.
