I've actually had this happen recently. Because it was an upgrade, I couldn't connect via the commandline MySQL client, either.
So, you might have to follow the procedure to reset the root password, like you would if you forgot it: http://www.megalinux.net/archives/000183.html When you reset it, then your commandline client will be able to connect again. If you can't recompile PHP to use the newer MySQL client, then you'll need to reset the password to the OLD_PASSWORD style, so you can use PHPMyAdmin from PHP. -Jeromie >Maybe u can change password in MySQL with this command > >SET PASSWORD FOR 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('mypass'); > >example : > >SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('your_password'); > > > >Bambang > > >*********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** > >On 4/27/2005 at 8:48 PM VLAD ALEXANDRESCU wrote: > > > >>Any idea? >> >>I installed Apache 2 and PHP 5 and Mysql server 4.1 >>Just for personal use. >>And PhpMyAdmin. >>I worked for week. >>Then - (maybe I changed something - but I think I didn't) - in >>PHPMYADMIN - says that >>cannot load mysql extension, >>please check PHP Configuration >> >>I am trying to configure this, but now, after many hours - it's still >>the same message. >>Any idea? >> >>VLAD >> >> >>[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] >> >> >> >> >> >> >>The PHP_mySQL group is dedicated to learn more about the PHP_mySQL web >>database possibilities through group learning. >>Yahoo!
