I have chosen an empty password. I know that this is a security problem.
IÂm using it for testing at the moment only. I use it because there also
seems to be an issue with php connecting to mysql servers with verions >
4.1.
When trying to connect with password I get this:
Connect failed : Client does not support authentication protocol
requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client.
Because I want to track down issue after issue and not anything at once
I decided to find out why mysql_select_db fails first.
What really makes me wonder in my tiny example is that the error message
does not say something like:
SELECT_DB failed: Access denied for user 'myuser'@'localhost' to
database 'mydb'
instead it says:
SELECT_DB failed: Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database
'mydb'
So I think that the username is not interpreted at all. Why not?
Regards,
Chris
