Omeka S Modules

Dear all,
I have the following error message when I install CSV import:

Omeka S is een fout tegengekomen

What version of MySQL are you using? You can easily check on the System Information screen linked at the bottom of every admin page.

That’s a fairly surprising error message you’re getting, as the “utf8mb4” character set being complained about is widely used throughout Omeka S.

Herewith I’m sending you the information:
MySQL
Server Version 5.1.69-log
Client Version mysqlnd 5.0.11-dev - 20120503 - $Id: 76b08b24596e12d4553bd41fc93cccd5bac2fe7a $
Mode

That version of MySQL is significantly too old to run Omeka S.

I’m not sure how you got it installed in the first place.

Thank you for the quick response.
