I’m also getting the “Error establishing a database connection” during setup, but thanks to astrashe ‘s code i at least got a better error:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in C:\Inetpub\WORDPRESS\test\dbtest.php on line 7
Could not connect: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
I’ve only just downloaded the mySQL so it cant be that old ?!?! My ado version is 2.8.. PHP Version 4.4.2 (is this too old?)
mysql
MySQL Support enabled
Active Persistent Links 0
Active Links 0
Client API version 3.23.49
I wondered if it was this client API version so i found somewhere on the mysql site that gave me an up to date php_mysql.dll [5.1.6.6] but i think this must have veen for php 5 because this was totally ignored even after i put it in the extensions folder and added it to the config file.
