Re: MySQL Error

Sorry, I didn't post enough info. I'm running MySQL version 4.1.12a, my php version is 4.3.11. For some reason i also get an error when trying to log in to phpMyAdmin. The error is the same:

#1251 - Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

Re: MySQL Error

Have you updated your mysql installation recently from 4.0?

The problem is that 4.0 and 4.1 use different authentication mechanisms which can lead to Auth errors like yours.

In that case it can help to update yor passwords using the mysql console program.
