Hi

This is regarding the query by
Andreas on ExportToMySQL. While trying to export reports from the client to MySQL database this error ExportToMySQL(): Unable to connect to MySQL server is displayed. I tried to search this function ExportToMySQL in the source but didn`t find. Can anyone suggest what has to be done.

Regards,
Rincy

 NessusWX export to MySQL-4.1.7

MySQL 4.x uses a new hashing length for passwords. You can keep the old 
shorter hash until NessusWX is updated. Simply use

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR
     -> 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');

to reset the password to the shorter hash.

The full write up is here
