Client does not support authentication protocol requested

Post by issinoho »

If the web browser reports the following,

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


It means the server is using a newer authentication method than the client. To resolve you need to tell the server to use old passwords.

See the following for chapter & verse,

Applies for pre-5.0 versions also, Willem.
