*head smack*

Apologies for my newbie-ish first post to the list. (I know better than to exclude key details like *gasp* an error message.)
Thanks to Michael's brilliant suggestion, I now have my error:

"Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client"

Does this have something to do with the OLD_PASSWORD issue in MySQL 5? (I didn't think OSXServer 10.4 included MySQL v.5... )

My setup:
Entropy PHP 4.3.11
MacOS X Server 10.4
10.4's default MySQL install

The key to fixing these sorts of problems is to write php code that tells you what the error is, rather than simply failing. Please pick one of your scripts (or make a test one) and make the connect code look like this:

  $link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password')
    or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

(replace mysql_host, mysql_user, and mysql_password with the appropriate values). The second line is the key. When this fails to connect, the error message from mysql will be printed. Reply with the connect code (but don't show us the real password, of course) and the exact error message (copy/paste). Armed with that information, I'm sure we can tell you what's wrong.
