Brent,
I believe I am experiencing the same problem when trying to run the
CocoaMySQL client...
When I run CocoaMySQL v0.7b2 and try to connect to a database, I get
the following error:
"Unable to connect to host localhost.
Be sure that the address is correct and that you have the necessary
privileges.
MySQL said: Client does not support authentication protocol requested
by server; consider upgrading MySQL client"
Am using MySQL 5 on OS X Tiger... However, I can't seem to find the
my.cnf file under /etc - it doesn't exist!
Kindest regards,
Unnsse
