WampServer

I have many applications installed and function really well in wamp (1.7.0) with php5. When I installed the php4 plugin and try to use the same applications, I get warning/error messages that it cannot connect to the mySQL database. None of the application does.

The wamp index screen says:

PHP version : 4.4.4
MySQL version : 5.0.27-community-nt

Any ideas what is wrong?

if you are using mysqli it is only supported on php5

What is your exact error message?

PHP4 uses the old style mySQL passwords, meaning you must force mySQL to do it as well...

First, connect to your mySQL server on command line, and manually reset every password as follows:

mysql> connect mysql
mysql> select user, host from user;

For each user/host pair, do:

mysql> set password for 'user'@'host' = old_password('yourpassword');

Then, edit your mysql config file (my.cnf) and add the following to the section under [wampmysqld]:

old_passwords=1

Restart mySQL and you should be all set. For more info on mySQL password supports, check out [dev.mysql.com]

Thank you very much. old_passwords was trick... Everything works fine now...
