Funny. I was just readin about this on the www.mysql.com web site. Under the documentation section about upgrading form 3.23 to 4.0. The exact URL is http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Upgrading-from-3.23.html
Ensure that you don't have any MySQL clients that use shared libraries (like the Perl DBD-mysql mode). If you do, you should recompile them, because the data structures used in `libmysqlclient.so' have changed. The same applies to other MySQL interfaces as well, such as the Python MySQLdb module. MySQL 4.0 will work even if you don't do the above, but you will not be able to use the new security privileges that MySQL 4.0 and you may run into problems when upgrading later to MySQL 4.1 or newer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just installed mysql 4.1. The same perl/DBIscripts which worked fine on 4.0 now failing toconnect with the following error: DBI connect('host=localhost;database=webdb','webdev',...) failed: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server. Consider upgrading MySQL client at ./intro7.pl line 7 Any ideas, anyone? Thank you.
