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?
Thanks,
