EASY SOLUTION ! : Re: "mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client"
Hi folks,
the recommendation from Theophilus might work; I just SUCCESSFULLY tried an older, much easier solution from user mgladds
(
http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?11,6400,10611#msg-10611 ):
just insert into my.ini below of:
[client]
port=3306
the new line:
old_passwords
Save my.ini and restart the server.
This did NOT work for as I inserted it at the beginning of my.ini, but it worked FINE as I inserted it exactly there!
Hope it helps!
