Hi everyone!
I would like to know how I can upgrade mysql client to bypass the "Client does not support authentication protocol" error while executing a mysql function in PHP.
N.B: I would like to upgrade and not use my old client with OLD_PASSWORD() function.
Thanks

On linux....
You could install the mysql database as per the directions on mysql.com then you have to recompile php to include mysql support.
Most of this all depends on your OS, version of PHP and version of mysql needed.

If i'm not mistaken it was a matter of UPDATE password...

No I don't want to solve the problem with the OLD_PASSWORD function. I would like the mysql 3.23 client to become a mysql 4.1 client. I've searched in Google but noone detailed how it could be done...
