I know this isn't the most elegant solution, but it works. You can use the mySQL v3.x driver that comes built into cf administrator if you apply one quick fix to your mySQL user account:
SET PASSWORD FOR 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd'); More on this can be found here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html Essentially this 'fix' changes your password to use the old & shorter password hashing algorithm used back with mySQL 3.x. Less secure, yes, but this is really the only major compatibility issue you'll encounter with using this driver.
