Hi all, Just upgraded MySQL on my development machine to 4.1 and get the familiar error "Client does not support authentication protocol...". A bit of Googling learns this is expected behaviour and all clients in use should be instructed to use the new protocol (including PHP). However, on none of the hosts used for hosting client sites this has ever been a problem yet (most still use 3.23...) and I don't want to be obliged to change things everytime I move a finished site from my machine to the clients host, so I prefer to stick with using the old password.
This is possible: the documentation tells me to just start the service with 'mysqld --old-passwords' as option. However, as per the registry, MySQL starts automatically as a service when windoze starts. Without this option. Now every restart of the machine I can stop the freshly started mysqld service and start it again with the --old-passwords option but it should be possible to do this leaving the appropriate info in the registry. Anybody 'been there, done that'? Where to put what in the registry with this effect?
