Note Submitter: iamwebengineer at gmail dot com ---- Problem: Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Premature end of data (mysqlnd_wireprotocol.c:554) in path/to/the/file/where/connection/script/is/written/ Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: OK packet 1 bytes shorter than expected in path/to/the/file/where/connection/script/is/written/ Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using the old insecure authentication. Please use an administration tool to reset your password with the command SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('your_existing_password'). This will store a new, and more secure, hash value in mysql.user. If this user is used in other scripts executed by PHP 5.2 or earlier you might need to remove the old-passwords flag from your my.cnf file in path/to/the/file/where/connection/script/is/written/ ---------- Solution: http://tinyurl.com/lampsailesh
