I saw this as well on one of my test PC\'s
running MySQL 5.0.16 and PHP 4.4.2

look here !

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html

it has to do with a new password hashing algorithm used in the newer versions of MySQL .. pretty easy fix.

I will be very happy if people can read better (or at least just read)
the instructions in the installer pages.
TIME ago I\'ve included a link to a local PDF with the A.23 chapter of
MySQL regarding the password problem.

Till now seems my effort was a useless one . :(

Don\\\'t be sad Francisco, I believe that about 5% users read our manual and find it ;-)
