Hi,
Thank you for the reply Collins but for now changing my host isn't an option.
I have forced the installation with a little hack, and it's a success, Jdownloads is working without problem so far, and why not! I have plenty of components, modules and plugins that work perfectly, even Joomla 3.9 itself with MariaDB 10.1.48
This is how I dit it :
download the latest version of jdownloads, unzip all on your computer and open script.php and look for this IF statement and remove it :
if (!$dbMatch){
// Notify the user of the potential update
$dbMsg = \JText::sprintf(
'COM_JDOWNLOADS_UPGRADE32_AVAILABLE_UPDATE_DB_MINIMUM',
'jDownloads',
$this->new_version,
\JText::_($db->name),
$dbVersion,
$minumumVersion
);
// Upgrade abort with hint about db problem
$message = '<div>
<h5>'.$dbMsg.'</h5>
</div>';
JError::raiseWarning(null, $message);
return false;
}
Save the file and re-zipe all, then install jdownloads. Done
