What errors are you getting? If you're having a problem connecting with
an error like:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication
protocol requested by server
This is a problem with PHP 4.X.X and MySQL 4.1+ you have to login to
MySQL and use the "OLD_PASSWORD" feature. IE:
SET PASSWORD FOR 'user@'host' = OLD_PASSWORD('user_password');

Subject: [PHP-INSTALL] Connection to mySQL
I read all the help files for php and mysql but I just don't get it.
What do I need to do to get my php to talk to the mysql server? Right
now I have the mysql server installed and running. The build-in option
for mysql for php, what does it do? if php have this builded in do I
even need the mysql server then?
I keep hearing you have to edit two files to make mysql work in php
but I don't find them, can you give me the full dir of where they are
located and what do I put in the files. This is the only thing I'm
missing for my server. please HELP!!!
