Re: MySQL Error 1251 / phpMyAdmin

You have mysql 4.1.8, but your php was built with the library for an earlier version, which, as the error message says, doesn't support the new, more secure authentication protocol. Your choices are to tell mysql to use the older, less-secure protocol, or build a copy of php using your current mysql client library. See the manual for more <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html>. Michael GH wrote:
