Okay, I've now added this using the 'old-passwords' syntax in my.cnf file. Still doesn't make any difference.
Have no idea about how to change passwords from 'old' to 'new'???? -----Original Message----- From: Peter Burden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 5:19 PM To: Paul DuBois Cc: Christensen, Dave; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: MySQL 4.1 and MyCC Paul DuBois wrote: > At 11:55 -0500 6/11/03, Christensen, Dave wrote: > >> I upgraded my test MySQL server yesterday to 4.1 and I'm now >> receiving an >> error when I try to connect using MyCC.
