Okay have found the posts about this and thought I had worked through the steps to solve the problem but to no avail.

the solution is apparently here.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html


I am running mysql5 apache 2.0.58 and php 4.4.2 and I can't seem to get the upgrade of the client or the hashing problem resolved.

Can any one give me a step by step account of what to do as I think I am now in the category of complete technical incompetent

Cheers
