    I had my site working fine under PHP4 but the Android client has an issue with PHP4 so I attempted to upgrade to PHP5. After upgrading I now get an Error Establishing a Database Connection error. When I check my phpinfo, it shows MySQL, MySQLi and MySQLND all supported and enabled with the provider mysqlnd 5.0.7-dev – 091210 – $Revision: 300533 $. My full phpinfo page can be viewed at http://www.ajhenderson.com/phpinfo.php.

    Ok, so I finally found something that would help be my some creative googling on the library name itself. For anyone else who encounters this error, if you were using old_password on your previous installation for compatibility with the older MySQL client, the new client requires that you use the new hash. Reset your passwords to be the new MySQL hash instead of the old one and the switchover works beautifully. Hope it helps.
