Installation problems on winXP

confidence · Post by **confidence** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 2:52 pm

Hi,

I\'m getting a strange answer even after i did run the oldpassword thing in mysql:

\"Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\testlink\\lib\\functions\\common.php on line 71\"

I have the following components:

WinXP SP2 + daily updates
mysql-4.1.16-win32
php-4.4.2
testlink_1_6_0

Any help would be highly apperciated!

sorry, i couldn\'t find the edit option... After i posted it i saw that only half of the message i got i copied... so the entire message would be:

\"Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\testlink\\lib\\functions\\common.php on line 71
ok
Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\testlink\\lib\\functions\\common.php:71) in c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\testlink\\login.php on line 35\"

This one appears on the login page.

thanks again

This has been reported many, many times.
And we have written the answer many, many times.

Please do a search about this in the forum and in mantis, including the
closed issues.

Hi FMAN,

As I already told that in my previous post I did the search before I posted, I also followed the instructions which are at http://www.phplivesupport.com/documenta ... d=72&pid=3 but it didn\\\'t work.

I couldn\\\'t find any other help related to my problem... I also tried to use several versions of mysql and php but I still couldn\\\'t make it work...

If you could point out some other things too, I would appreciate it and I will try again.

Thanks for reading my post!

I TOLD YOU TWICE already that that kind of resolution didn;t helped me! I applied it before my very first post. If you don;t have any clue about what could be possibly wrong at my deployment, just say so.

Anyway I will start to find another application.

You guys just got an \"F\" at the customer support and customer satisfaction.

1 - Calm down
2 - I\\\'m doing some other things will trying to reply to your question
3 - Thanks for your F. (remember you don\\\'t pay for support)
4 - Up to you if you don\\\'t want to use testlink

5 - Finally a bit of serious technical talk:
have you tried to connect to the DB using another PHP application
like phpMyAdmin ?
What\\\'s the result ?

Time ago I\\\'ve had a lot of problems with the old password problems,
and after have applied the changes suggested by MySQL Manual
the problem persist.

Here the silly questions:
Have you configured your MySQL to use old password ?
After reconfigured MySQL have you stopt/start the server ?
