I am confused as to why I am unable to connect to my MySQL DB 4.1.13 via DBI:DBD in PERL.
This is on SuSE Pro 9.1, perl-5.8.3-32, perl-DBI-1.41-28, perl-DBD-mysql-2.9003-22. I am getting the following error: DBI connect('host=localhost;database=lts','dbmgr',...) failed: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client at ./lts_connect_test.pl line 25 Can't call method "disconnect" on an undefined value at ./lts_connect_test.pl line 30. I have just created the user and granted all privileges with the following sequence: > mysql -u root -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 7 to server version: 4.1.13-Max Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON lts.* TO 'dbmgr'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'pwd'; Then I run the following code: --------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl -w use DBI; use strict; my $lts_username='dbmgr'; my $lts_password='pwd'; my $lts_data_source; my $lts_dbh; connect_lts(); disconnect_lts(); sub connect_lts { my $lts_source='DBI:mysql:host=localhost;database=lts'; $lts_dbh = DBI->connect($lts_source,$lts_username,$lts_password); } sub disconnect_lts { $lts_dbh->disconnect(); } --------------------------------- And get the error listed above. I have also created a user that has only SELECT privilege and it works fine with this slight modification to the above code: my $lts_username='wmdbread'; my $lts_password=''; I have also run FLUSH PRIVILEGES; in mysql as root and it did not change anything. I have also verified that the mysql.db table shows the users with the proper db and privileges. Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas?
