Installation does not work after step 3

Tagged:  

I installed project pier with XAMPP on my local machine successfull. After testing it for a while, I tried to install it for our charity project work on a newly created server, but I can not get passed step 3 (SQL database connection) I created the database on the server and entered all data correctly. There is no error message by the installation, it just displays the empty installation page step 3 again.
The provider has the following connection routine for php, maybe this helps people aquainted with programming:

<?php

$link = mysql_connect('interseinorg.fatcowmysql.com', 'dominik', '*password*');
if (!
$link) {
    die(
'Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo
'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db(wwo);
?>

The server versions are:
Platform
Type Debian
MySQL Version
MySQL Version 5.0.91
Perl Version
Perl 5.8.8
PHP Version
PHP 5.2.2

I am very thankful for any help to resolve this problem and start working with our team,
thx, Dominik

I could resolve that issue. The provider informed me:

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. It appears that you are trying to install the application ProjectPier. The application you are trying to install requires InnoDB storage engine. Unfortunately, we do not support InnoDB storage on our server. On our hosting platform we provide MyISAM as storage engine for database.

I was not aware that InnoDB was not available, as the variable section of the MySQL showed InnoDB variables as active. After changing the host, everything works well

Is this version 0.8.0.3?
