Re: Cannot connect to databases after installing 6.0 => solution

[Mike Lischke]

Fraser,

yes of course is there a solution: finally switch away from the old unsecure authentication! Best would be to install the latest GA release of MySQL server (currently version 5.6). Many bugs have been fixed since the old 4.x, 5.0/5.1 times and lots has improved, including speed + security.
