ERROR 1251: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client


What is this..? Why is it asking me to upgrade the client.? Cheers.

master/client are the same machine. I installed via tar.gz, ver 4.1 following this page

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/installing-binary.html

for installation on FC3. Why would it say that the client doesn't support it.?

Because you almost certainly have an existing, older version of MySQL already installed with FC3, and it's first in your path; try:

prompt# which mysql

:: and see if it's the 4.1 version you installed. I'll bet it's not :-)

If so, remove it or set your PATH appropriately.

HTH,
