Re: Login Problems
After I uninstalled 4.1 I removed the /var/db/mysql/ directory so that the install of 4.0.6 would start fresh and create its defualt users and databases with no trace of the previous user entries.

But when a user attempts to connect with a password they get the usual ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) In an earlier message, you said you downgraded from mysql 4.1.? to 4.0.6 (Why not 4.0.16?). mysql 4.1 has a different password format in the user table than previous versions. Pre 4.1.x mysql uses 16 byte hashes to store passwords, 4.1.0 uses 45 byte hashes, and 4.1.1 (and up) uses 41 byte hashes. If you kept (or restored) the mysql user table you created in 4.1, you may now be comparing a 16 byte password hash to a 41 or 45 byte hash. As I understand it, the only way that could match is if both are blank. If this is the case for you, use GRANT to reset the passwords to new 16 byte hashes. See http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Password_hashing.html for more.

RE: Login Problems
Issue has been resolved. Thank you all. I dont know what went wrong but I think it was becuase when I was connecting as root I ran : mysql --user=root and not mysql --user=root mysql after I did this I created a user and now that user can connect with a password. Thank you all for your help and now a computer society's web site has been born. Regards, Conor.

Does anyone know why MySQL would only be allowing users with null passwords to connect? It's a fresh install of the server after deinstalling 4.1-ALPHA and installing the production release of 4.0.6.

Login Problems
Hello, I am experiencing a strange problem with a MySQL server on a FreeBSD machine here in college. The problem began after I de-installed the 4.1 ALPHA versions of both the client and the server, removed the /var/db/mysql/ directory so the install would start afresh and installed the 4.0.6 Production release, again of both the client and the server. But after I did that users can now only connect if their passwords are null. As soon as a user sets a password they receive he following message: ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) I have tried reinstalling only to find the same problem. Can anyone please help with this as is it hindering the development of our new web site. Thank you in advance.
