That was it! Thanks, Dave. I knew there was some trick. I just
couldn't remember what. After I already uninstalled the new version
and installed an older version. What a mess. Next time I'll learn
to document all these tricks.
Thanks again,
Chris

I have a big problem that I need to figure out ASAP one way or
another.
I installed the latest version of MySQL on my Mac OS X Tiger
machine (MySQL version 4.1.11 I believe). Now my application
isn't working. Upon trying to connect to my database I'm getting
an error that says, "Client does not support authentication
protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client". I
remember running into this at one point in the past, but I don't
remember if I got around it somehow or if it was just with the
release of Rev 2.5.1 that it was fixed.
So my first question is, is it possible to update the MySQL client
libraries (dll's, OS X bundles, etc.) that come with Revolution?
Can they be downloaded somewhere? If not, does anyone know of a
way to completely uninstall MySQL from OS X and reinstall an older
version? I've tried following the downgrading instructions in the
MySQL manual, and all they say is to just install the older
version right over the top of the newer version, so long as it's
the same release (4.x in this case). But when I try to do that,
the installer tells me I can't install because a newer version
already exists. Any way to "trick" the OS X installer into
letting me install the older version?
I got round this by resetting the user passwords on the newer
server using the OLD_PASSWORD function.
SET PASSWORD FOR 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD
('mypass');
Cheers
Dave
