Hi There,
Previously I had to go through the pain of installing Apache, PHP and MySQL manually on windows but now XAMPP is the answer.
It all installed fine, Apache and MySQL running, WOW.
Just one problem, after the install I am now trying to run my apps, it all worked before but now as soon as I make a DB call I get the following error:
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\LithoEstimation\includes\functions.php on line 67
Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
My line 67 is ...
mysql_connect($DBHost, $DBUser, $DBPass) or die(mysql_error());
If I use PHPMyAdmin I can access my databases, no problem.
with the previous version of MySQL I had installed this worked, my previous version was mysql-4.0.18-win.
I do not know how to fix this or where to start looking, the problem may be a PHP setting. Can some one please help, thanks.
