cirene Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I am totally new at php and mysql. Running Apache/1.3.23(Win32), MySql5. Using php how do I connect to my 'test' MySql db on localhost? This is my connection code... $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die('Error connecting to mysql'); mysql_select_db($dbname); I keep getting these 2 errors... Warning: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in f:\work-related\websites\phpmysql\opendb.php on line 3 Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in f:\work-related\websites\phpmysql\opendb.php on line 3 Error connecting to mysql Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I know it's a NEWB question, but please bear with me. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114211-solved-newb-q-cant-connect-to-mysql-5-db/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcateme Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 i think your mysql.dll file is the wrong version to work with your mysql server Scott.
