  1. When launching Confluence from the command line, add the following parameter:

    I used this workaround while evaluating Confluence and did run into a mysql error when I attempted to edit the labels for a space (in the space admin area).  I then embarked on a mission to upgrade my server to MySQL5.1.  The error went away, so it seems the workaround doesn't cover all conditions.  I don't excpect any action on this, just wanted to let others know that this will be a problem when using MySQL 4.x.
