I have completely uninstalled WAMP. Then I reinstall it. This is a completly new setup. It ha never ever ever connectyed to a MySql database on this mmachine...ANDI still am unable to connect to a MtySql database.
My desire was to begin converting a large number of php files written in version 4 of php to version 5. So after the successful instalaton of WAMP I added version 2.0.58 of Apache, php version 4.4.9, and MySql version 4.1.22. This would be my version '4' test enviroment where all the previous code SHOULD run.
The php4 code runs fine BUT any connection attempts to a MySql database result in.. ...
"Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider
upgrading MySQL client"
Exaxtly the same error described in section 1.17.1a of the FAQ's of the phpMyAdmin docs.
Ok..,.. but after reading all the suggested documentation about the the mysqli I am a loss as to what to do about it.
I also feel that I am having an 'old pasword' hashing issue, The user name and passwrd arr correct because the myqsl odbc connector uses them same and it conncects fine.
Here is the code from php4 that i am trying to execute with nothing but FAILURE.. //======================================= include("dbinfo_dbf.inc.php" ); $link = mysql_connect ( $DBHost, $DBUser, $DBPass ) or die ( "Could notconnect to database<br><br>" ); //===================================
How do i get connected to my database???
Help please
