I wasn't quite sure on where to post this. Anyway, I just installed a test server on my home machine: Apache 1.3.29, PHP 4.3, and MySQL 4.1. I ran phpmyadmin, and it told me this:
#1251 - Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
I tried connecting manually through PHP to no avail. I also tried all the possible auth methods in PHPmyADMIN, also to no avail. What can I do? Thanks
Hmm, I should know this, but how do I get to MySQL in the command line? This is a windows box. Going to mysqld-nt.exe hangs the DOS box for a few seconds, then quits without giving me a chance to type anything. Thanks for the answers, some more productive than others. (I'm not some noob, you know, I have over 500 posts )
Certainly from someone that is not new... I would expect him to do a little websearch... I typed "mysql Client does not support authentication protocol" in the google lucky box....
