I just tried installing the latest version of Piwik on a VPS server and i'm getting the error message:
"Mysqli prepare error: This command is not supported in the prepared statement protocol yet"
Could it be that LOCK statement is not compatibel with mysqli?
What else could be causing the issue? I will ask user for more info.
(In [6459]) Fixes #3178, fixed issue w/ mysqli && prepared statements.
(In [6460]) Refs #3178, surround first drop tables call in try-catch.
