*head smack*
Apologies for my newbie-ish first post to the list. (I know better
than to exclude key details like *gasp* an error message.)
Thanks to Michael's brilliant suggestion, I now have my error:
"Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server;
consider upgrading MySQL client"
Does this have something to do with the OLD_PASSWORD issue in MySQL
5? (I didn't think OSXServer 10.4 included MySQL v.5... )
My setup:
Entropy PHP 4.3.11
MacOS X Server 10.4
10.4's default MySQL install
