-- write sessional data to ATS database
put revOpenDatabase("MySQL","localhost","ATS",<username here>,<password here>) into pMysql put "INSERT INTO inter VALUES(pSession,pInit,pUser,pAddress,pLocation,tData)" into tStatement revExecuteSQL pMysql,tStatement,"pSession","pInit","pUser","pAddress","pLocation","t Data"

..problem is that it falls at the first hurdle (ie revOpenDatabase) which returns the following error message:

'Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client'

Meaning what? That the rev db library is out of date? I'm running MySQL server version 4.1.11-standard on OSX.3


Hi Terry,

A few weeks ago, Dave Cragg suggested a way around this problem:

I got round this by resetting the user passwords on the newer server using the OLD_PASSWORD function.

SET PASSWORD FOR 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('mypass');

HTH,

Does it what! Interestingly, the same 'problem' seem to be stopping me connecting to the server using a MySQL client GUI (CocoaMySQL) whereas another client (Navicat) worked no problem.

Much appreciated Sarah and Dave,

Terry...
