Rails - Apr 2011 - GEMFile gem 'mysql2' and mysql version is 4.1.2

Hi all

I have a Gemfile with this value

gem ''mysql2''


but when I  run this command ''$ bundle install'' on my host
they said
that

"The command "bundle install --local" seems to be returning
mysql2
dependency error now. Unfortunately mysql2 gem requires mysql 5.1+ (
refer: https://github.com/brianmario/mysql2/issues/109 ) whereas the
server mysql version is 4.1.2. Since you are on a shared server, it is
not possible to upgrade mysql version as it may affect many other users
in the same server."

how can I replace the expression

gem ''mysql2''

created by default when I run

 ''rails new mystore -d=mysql''

to run with mysql 4.1.2?

I am trying to install Spree following this link
http://spreecommerce.com/documentation/getting_started.html

Please advise!

You can try changing mysql2 to mysql both in your gemfile and in your
database.yml

Mysql 4.1.2 is seriously old (may 2004) and it looks like it was an alpha
release of the 4.1 series rather than a production ready version. The whole 4.1
series has been unsupported for years. That your host only provides this version
suggests that they really don''t care that much
