Hi,
Just this morning I upgraded to MySQL 4.1.0 alpha and PHP 4.3.3. I'm also
running Apache 2 on a WinXP machine. The main reason for the upgrade was
so that I could make use of 4.1.0's sub-select feature rather than attempt
learning JOINs. It is now 7 hours later, and I keep getting the following
error when trying to connect to my database:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol
requested by server. Consider upgrading MySQL client
Running phpinfo() shows Client API version 3.23.49 under mySQL.
Searching around the net all day, the closest explanation I could find was
that PHP does not have a client API to interface with MySQL 4.1.x. The
solution suggested was to use an ODBC driver to interface between PHP and
MySQL but indicated that this may be slower.
My question, therefore, is - is there a way to upgrade the MySQL client in
PHP 4.3.3? If not, what are the alternatives (apart from reverting back to
MySQL 4.0.x of course).
Thanks in advance.
Vinny.
