Error connecting to MySQL from phpbb setup
I have installed MySQL and MySQL Administrator, had a quick play and all seems to be fine. I then installed php and ran the PHP test page. That also seems fine.
Finally, I tried installing phpBB 2 forum software. It starts at an installation page on which you set all the parameters like db name, passwords, etc, then click Install. It's supposed to go away and set up the database in MySQL, but instead, I get a page with the following message...
Could not connect to the database PHP Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in D:\Web Sites\CacheDev\phpbb2\db\mysql4.php on line 48 PHP Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in D:\Web Sites\CacheDev\phpbb2\db\mysql4.php on line 330 PHP Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in D:\Web Sites\CacheDev\phpbb2\db\mysql4.php on line 331
OF course, being new to MySQL, PHP and phpBB, I'm not sure just where the problem lies. If anyone can give me a clue I would be *most* appreciative. (P.S. I'm a professional db developer, so I know my way around, I'm just not up to speed on MySQL, yet! Which may help you grade your reply! :-)
