Hello all, I keep getting this error message returned:

"


Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in C:\WWW\niknet\forum\phpBB2\db\mysql4.php on line 48

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in C:\WWW\niknet\forum\phpBB2\db\mysql4.php on line 330

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in C:\WWW\niknet\forum\phpBB2\db\mysql4.php on line 331
phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

"
Now, i've read here ebfore adn changed the passwords bit in my.ini to old_passwords.

I am asuming I am missing some sort of authentication somewhere, but I am very new ot this and don't know where to look. Any and all help gratefully received.

Many thanks,

Nick
