  • A little more searching and I found the exact culprit. MySQL 4.1.1+ uses a different password hashing scheme, incompatible with older clients. There’s a post on the manual page about this, which mentions problems with PHP 4.3.9:

    http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html

    The problem doesn’t occur when I connect to a 4.0.23 database; installation is the normal 5-minutes.

    Out of curiousity, I tried using YourSQL and CocoaMySQL, and neither of them were able to connect. However, the standard mysql command line utilities worked fine.

    So, my guess is that the shared libraries installed on my system aren’t updated for MySQL 4.1. I assume this might be your problem as well, elle.

    macmanx: I saw the link in the other thread, and am about to try it out. Seems like an easier development environment. Thanks.

    I wanted to second elle’s issue, which I’ve encountered when performing a test installation on my PowerBook.

    FYI, I’ve installed MySQL 4.1.10 using the installer from mysql.com. I’m in the process of downloading 4.0.x to see if there’s any difference, as well as the MAMP distribution mentioned in another thread.
