WampServer

Hi Everybody,

When I try and execute the following script

$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "user_eMail", "user_Password", "ofs";

I will get the following error:


Fatal error: Uncaught mysqli_sql_exception: Plugin 'mysql_native_password' is not loaded in C:\wamp64\www\OFS1\index.php on line 3
( ! ) mysqli_sql_exception: Plugin 'mysql_native_password' is not loaded in C:\wamp64\www\OFS1\index.php on line 3

What can cause this? WAMP worked flawlessly last week.

Many Thanks,
Paul

Hi,

What version of MySQL ?

See : 8.4.1.1 Native Pluggable Authentication

The mysql_native_password authentication plugin is deprecated as of MySQL 8.0.34, disabled by default in MySQL 8.4, and removed as of MySQL 9.0.0.
