SQL Browser & MySQL5.0

Post by wildteen88 »

Hi I have just bought RapidPHP 2006 and I am currently getting used to it and playing around with the many different features. One feature I am having a little problem with is the SQL Browser.

I have a local install of Apache2, PHP5 and MySQL5 which was all installed and configured manually.

Now when I double click the database connection trhat I setup which is a simple test connected to a test database I have setup. When I click the refresh icon in the SQL Browser I get the following error message:

Code: Select all

SQL Error: Client does not support authentication protocol by server; consider upgrading MySQL Client.
What should I do now? Any tips please. I will try the driver update again.

Any help would be greateful!

TIA

The driver doesn't work with MySql unless you use the old password encryption. What you need to do is go to the MySql command line and change the password:
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('mypass');

Hopefully we'll soon see an upgrade that fixes this problem, but for now that's the only workaround that I know of.
