I've been running MySQL 4.0.20 on Mac OS 10.3.5 for some months and had been working on a custom client. It was working well until I upgraded by computer to 10.4.3 and MySQL to 5.0.18. My client can not longer connect - I get an error message: "Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server."
I assumed this was due to the changes in the password hashing function since version 4.0, so I used MySQL Administrator to add the following my.cnf file in /etc. [mysqld] #This option makes InnoDB to store each created table into its own .ibd file. innodb_file_per_table #Don't allow new user creation by the user who has no write privileges to the mysql.user table. safe-user-create #Use old password encryption method (needed for 4.0 and older clients). old-passwords After restarting the database, I still could not connect. I added the same cnf file to mysql/data and restarted the database again. Again, I was unable to connect. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Also, how can I find out whether mysqld is actually using the cnf settings?
