My Solution to "mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client"

What eventually worked for me was to remove my password from MySql so that I could log on with only a Username. PHP then connected without the error. I went back and re-instated my passowrd in MySql and PHP still connected. Prior to finding this solution I had used the OLD_PASSWORD() function, but that had not cured the problem, but may have helped with the cure when I removed and re-instated the password.
