Hi there.....
Not only am I new to MySQL but PHP as well. I have done my best to look around the various forums for a fix but cannot find anything.
I have a 2003 server and h'ave installed MySQL and PHP. From the server I can 'telnet localhost 3306 and can use MySQL to create databases / tables etc etc.
From my client I can 'telnet servername 3306'
But when I try and connect to a database from within php using
if(mysql_connect('localhost','root','***'))
{ print("Connect Worked Fine"); } else{ print(mysql_error()); }
I get message
"Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client"
The script is run on my server from IE.
Am I missing some software or are there some security options not set within php/MySQL(server or databases ).
Many thanks in advance
