I need some clarification on the old password issue as I am having problems logging in. Here is what I am running into now. Original Server config: my.cnf is NOT using the old_passwords=1 under MySQL-server-4.1.14-0 I am able to login via phpmyadmin without problem, remotely with mysqladmin and of course applications. perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9003-5 MySQL-devel-4.1.14-0 MySQL-server-4.1.14-0 MySQL-client-4.1.14-0 php-mysql-4.3.11-2.8.4.legacy mod_auth_mysql-20030510-5 MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.13-0 MySQL-embedded-4.1.14-0 MySQL-bench-4.1.14-0 New Server config: tried old_passwords=1 both on & off under mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.6.5-10.RHEL4.1 mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 mod_auth_mysql-2.6.1-2.2 php-mysql-4.3.9-3.22 mysql-bench-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 mysql-server-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 mysqlclient10-3.23.58-4.RHEL4.1 perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9004-3.1 MySQL-python-1.0.0-1.RHEL4.1 mysql-devel-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 New server tried running with both the old_passwords=1 and not really getting consistant results. yes I restart mysqld after changes etc. Part of the problem may also be related to the host field in which some times I use the % so that I can connect via the gui tools. So are my questions: 1. if I want to use the older apps, and phpmyadmin etc do I need to run old_passwords=1? 2. If I start mysqld with the old_passwords=1 set, when I use phpmyadmin to edit someone's password do I need to use the password drop down or the old_password drop down? 3. For remote access if I setup % in the host as I have done in the past that should allow me to login both remotely & to localhost right? ( again this works perfectly on my older box) Hope this makes sense. Thanks,
Joey
