Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server

[Rimsky]

Install everything, but the install.php page gives me:
Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server
php 4.3.9
MySQL 4.1.6 (Can't get 4.0.21 to work)
Winxp
IIS

Can anyone offer any help?

Does your host support the above?

Does your host support the above?

I'm running it local on my WinXP machine, if that's what you're asking?

Try this MySQL Query:

Code Select Expand

SET PASSWORD FOR 'yourusername' @ 'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('yourcurrentpassword');

I had the same problem. I was able to solve it by creating a user with the MySql Administrator tool and using that name and pw to connect to the database. I hope this works for you too.
