Hi I'm getting a similar problem..

Platfrom details:

RAQ4

MYSQL 4.1 Compiled from Source. Using instructions here:
http://www.cobaltfaqs.com/doc/wiki.pl?InstallMySQLFromSource

PHP 4.3.10 Compiled from Source. Using Instruction here:
http://www.cobaltfaqs.com/doc/wiki.pl?RaQ4PHPUpgrade

phpBB 2.0.11 installed as per instruction as www.phpbb.com

Now all this use to work till i upgraded PHP and MYSQL.

Due to the issues i have had, i removed any trace of the packages and installed from source code.

I can log into MYSQL in command line with root and my password, which is an 8 digit alphanumeric character. It shows a database i created for my forums.

I run the setup scrip via the web as per the instructions in the www.phpbb.com website but i then get the following errors:

=============================================
Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in /home/sites/site10/web/BB/db/mysql4.php on line 48

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/sites/site10/web/BB/db/mysql4.php on line 330

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/sites/site10/web/BB/db/mysql4.php on line 331
phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database
=============================================

I've tried most things, i can think of, but to no avail. I was wondering if anybody has an fresh ideas on what is going wrong.. I've been working on the problem on and off for a week now and i'm really at a dead end...

Any help would be appreciated. If you need more info just post what you need and i'll reply with needed info.

regards
