Re: Building User Accounts and PHPMyAdmin

[Tyler Longren]

If you're connecting to localhost, open up MySQL Adminstrator, go to "Startup Variables", then to the "Security" tab. Then check "Use Old Passwords". You might try upgrading your phpMyAdmin install also if it's not the most recent version.

"old_passwords" isn't the correct directive to add to my.ini file, it's supposed to be "old-passwords".

note the hyphen as opposed to the underscore. So, if you're not connecting to "localhost" with MySQL Administrator, you'll need to add the "old-passwords" directive to my.ini.
