Client does not support authentication protocol requested by

[telenut]

Hellow,
I try to install phpmyfaq on a windows 2003 server (web edition) with this configuration:
PHP 4.3.10, MySQL 4.1.9

And after giving login, username, server etc, I get this error:
The connection to the MySQL server could not be established.

The error message of the MySQL server:
Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

(the same error with phpmyfaq 1.4.5 and 1.5.0 rc3)

Any idea how to fix this?

strange thing: phpmyfaq says I am using this:
Your PHP version: PHP 4.3.10 / Your MySQL client version: MySQL 3.23.49

strange...
After reinstallation of PHP (this time 5.0.3)
The problem is solved.
I even see the right version of mysql....
Now I can go party

Hi,

the MySQL client in PHP 4.3.10 is too old for MySQL 4.1 server. That was your problem.
