It appears that your change to debian was also a change from the current
3.23 mysql version to the old 3.22 version ( major releases ). The old
version, 3.22, does not support MyISAM tables, so you'll need to upgrade to
the new version. Debian stable, aka potato, uses 3.22, but both woody + sid
( testing + unstable ) are using 3.23. I have no problems running apache +
php4 + mysql on debian unstable, if you are concerned about upgrading to the
'non' stable trees. I dont know if you can find a potato-fied mysql-3.23
.deb out there, but it may be available.
