>From the http://www.phpadmin.net site FAQ [1.17a] I cannot connect to the MySQL server. It always returns the error message, "Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client" You tried to access MySQL with an old MySQL client library. The version of your MySQL client library can be checked in your phpinfo() output. In general, it should have at least the same minor version as your server - as mentioned in FAQ 1.17. The only way to fix this problem is manually compiling php and its MySQL extension against a current MySQL client library. If you still face this problem, please compile your MySQL client library against the same or a newer MySQL release. >From the http://www.php.net site mysql_connect function, while not exactly the same version, the same problem occurs. maybe you have seen this (using PHP 4.3.9 and MySQL client/server 4.1) Error w/ php: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol Solution: mysql -u root-p SET PASSWORD FOR [EMAIL PROTECTED] = OLD_PASSWORD('password'); It is clearly that this is a bug in PHP's mysql module, perhaps it will be upgraded in the next version Resource: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,6400,6701#msg-6701 Regards David Logan Database Administrator HP Managed Services 148 Frome Street, Adelaide 5000 Australia +61 8 8408 4273 - Work +61 417 268 665 - Mobile +61 8 8408 4259 - Fax -----Original Message----- From: GH [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 8 February 2005 3:12 AM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com; php-general; PHP DB Subject: MySQL Error 1251 / phpMyAdmin I just installed phpMyAdmin 2.6.1 on my Windows Laptop with PHP Version 4.3.10 [Build Date Dec 14 2004 17:46:48] and mySql 4.1.8 I am receiving the enclosed error when I attempt to go into phpMyAdmin and do not know how to solve the issue...
