i need to use utf-8 and try chinese full-text search. but when i install the mysql database mysql-essential-4.1.13a-win32.msi , it's all ok. but in ipb beta5 install. i have this error found.

The following errors must be rectified before continuing!
Please go back and try again!

Connection error:

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

and

Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in E:\pcinlifeBBS\ips_kernel\class_db_mysql.php on line 114

what this means? what's the matter?

i try phpmyadmin for a test.. it's fail again. so the problem like from the mysql 4.1.13a.. so ..

it's someone install ipb in mysql 4.1 and use utf-8 ?

you'd have to convert to old password i think

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR
-> 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');

i use this command line to resolve this problem

ok here is what is wrong other then the old password have your host upgrade your

MySQL API Client to 4.1.13a because when you upgrade mysql it does not update the api client
