Re: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2054] The server requested authentication method unknown to the client

Thanks, Peter

I've stumbled on this fix in my endless internet searches, but I don't know where to add the information, in what file. I'm talking about this:

ALTER USER 'forge'@'localhost'
IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'new_password'

I guess it's not a change I make to the PHP code, to basic I guess :-) I've found some of the other files that must be edit during installation to be somewhat difficult to follow (newbie). I've just copied the installation procedure from the net without understanding all that much I must sadly admit :-|

Please direct me further so I don't have to keep on doing endless, painful, stupid tests with above code snippet...

Thanks
Kennet
