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

I'm guessing that you are running 10.4.3 on your Powerbook. In this latest update, Apple took extra security measures and starts MySQL with the --skip-networking option. This means only processes running on the local machine can connect to it (through a Unix socket file), like PHP running under Apache or the mysql client. This is a good security measure.

You can change this by editing the /etc/my.cnf file, comment out the skip-networking line and restart mysql.

I'm setting up a mysql server on OS X Tiger powerbook for development.
I've also a mysql server on my win2k pro machine.
Tiger has ip 192.168.0.100 and win2k has ip 192.168.0.101

Both db servers work fine locally but I can connect from Tiger to Win2k
while not from win2k to Tiger.

The version of mysql on Tiger is 5.0.16, the version of mysql on win2k is
5.0.15. Other than that,

I did almost nothing in configuring mysql on Tiger and win2k.

Can anyone tall me what to do in order to make mysql connection from
win2k to tiger?

Thanks
