WampServer

Okay, so I do the switch via the menu icon on wampserver to php4 from php5, it says stopping apache services and switching mysql server from mysqli to mysql. The problem here is, when it does the switch, it switches the mysql server to mysql and not staying not mysqli, thus making absolutely nothing work. I can't access phpmyadimin, it will just give me an error page, just a plain web page cannot be displayed error. Not specific error message what so ever. I would like to use php4 instead of php5 but for some reason it won't work correctly. with php5, my mysql server stays on mysqli but php4 wants to use mysql and nothing works...

any help would be nice..

next time, do the search before post

hi, sorry if you didn't understand me the first time but let me emphasize my error message I get when clicking phpmyadmin with php4 enabled.

THIS PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED


I don't think that's any type of wrong username/password =D

If it was a mysql error message then yes... but no, it's a plain old browser error message.

Now, I did what you told me, however, still doesn't work.

the problem lies within the mysql server switching from mysqli while in php5 to mysql going to php4. I'm guessing it's just not pointing correctly to the databases since nothing works... no error message except for this page cannod be displayed.

how did you do it?

by following the directions?

using command? post it here

yeah using the commands

same as the direction.

which command?

do you have short term memory?

the mysql commands are obviously going to be used via mysql console.

they asking the commands you used because alot of noobs don't follow the directions in the manner they are presented.

yes i understand that but you should also try to read my posts thoroughly.

it's not an issue with old_password. the problem is that when i want to use php4, mysql changes from mysqli to mysql instead of just mysqli to mysqli, thus making nothing work.

It's not an issue w/ password but the authentication protocol which causes problem when connecting to the server with a pre-4.1 client program, and that's why it needs to setup OLD_PASSWORD for php4 can work w/ new mysql

i got all the commands in and restarted mysql but still doesn't work... how do i boot up mysql to use old_password?

i also was wondering why in the world i don't get a mysql error message.....

do it before switch to php4

in other word, switch back to php5 and use mysql console to do it, not just root user but for ALL users, even user was created by add-on application.

Have fun

Tell the server to use the older password hashing algorithm:

Start mysqld with the --old-passwords option.


i don't get that part....

okay i did everything and I still get NOTHING.... no error message what so ever, just a browser page that says this page cannot be displayed...

Hmmmmmmmmmm....

Can you install 2 MySQL one on port 3306 (default) and one on 3307 and see if that works?

Worth a shot.
