[1251 - Client doens't support server protocol]

Hi there,

 

I'm having a great deal of trouble setting up a PHP-MySQL testing environment on my home PC. I have installed the IIS files needed, i have installed PHP and MySQL and am working with dreamweaver... the problem occurs when i come to make a connection to the database.

 

When i type in my details and hit the "select.." button it brings back the error message:

 

"1251 Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client"

 

which i can't understand because i only downloaded the MySQL thing today?

 

Can anyone shed a little light on my predicament? i'd be very greatful if someone could point out the errors in my ways.

 

Cheers,

Paulo
