We have just moved to a new web server where we are running mysql
version: 5.0.45
On the old machine, when we gave the following command:
update table1 set passwd = password('xx') where user_name="xx";
and then gave the following command,
SELECT user_name FROM alon_protein_passwd WHERE (user_name = "xx"
AND passwd=password('xx'))
we got the expected results.
Now when we do this, on the new machine, we get no result i.e. Empty set.
Any help will be appreciated.
The password hashing algorithm changed in MySQL 4.1. You can read about
it here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/password-hashing.html
This is likely the cause of the changes that you're observing. I
imagine that you'll either need to upgrade the passwords in your
table, or look for them using OLD_PASSWORD() rather than PASSWORD().
