Re: Malformed Packet error when call mysql_real_connect

The problem was solved by one of my colleagues. He noticed that the sql variable "old_passwords" was set to ON. He modified the database (using MySQL Workbench) with the command "SET old_passwords=0;". Then he updated our current password by "SET PASSWORD FOR <userid>=PASSWORD('<password>');"

After that my Connector C function calls worked. Don't know why I was getting the malformed packet error before.

Can anyone tell me whether such a modification of the database is dangerous in any way?

Thanks,
Scott
