 |

Hi. I seem to have a problem with my MySQL client library. When I try to connect to my MySQL server with phpmyadmin I get an error. I found the same problem and solution in phpmyadmins official FAQ, but I have no idea how to do what they instruct me to.
Here's the whole question and answer from phpmyadmin's offical FAQ:
| Quote: | [1.17a] I cannot connect to the MySQL server. It alaways returns the error message, "Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client"
You tried to access MySQL with an old MySQL client library. The version of your MySQL client library can be checked in your phpinfo() output.
In general, it should have at least the same minor version as your server - as mentioned in FAQ 1.17.
The only way to fix this problem is manually compiling php and its MySQL extension against a current MySQL client library.
If you still face this problem, please compile your MySQL client library against the same or a newer MySQL release. |
I have no idea what they're talking about. I have the newest php, the newest MySQL and the newest phpmyadmin installed. So how come my MySQL client library (whatever that is) is old?
I have php-4.3.9-Win32, mysql-4.1.7-win and phpMyAdmin-2.6.0-pl2. The machine is a p3 500 with 256mb of ram running Windows 2000 Server.
