Apache server gone wrong?????

The quickest fix is to actually downgrade your MySQL version to MySQL 4.

Okay I have now got the database connected again and the front page of the site shows, but just plain text and no css. Also I cannot log into admin with out apache falling over.

It certainly was not like this two days ago and I have checked for viruses and have not installed anything new.

So I seem to have a different issue now. Any thoughts would be most welcome.

Many thanks

Did you downgrade to MySQL 4?

Hi vger

I have now down graded and I am back to the authentication protocol problem and messages asking me to upgrade my client again.

Provided that it is a fairly recent version of the MySQL 4 series you shouldn't be having that problem - it's only very old versions of MySQL 4 that have that problem.

1. You are running a windows server
2. you have apache installed
3. you have PHP installed
4. you have MySQL installed

Did you also download and install the MySQL Connector for PHP (basically the PHP client to talk to the MySQL engine)? You can get it from the downloads area of the MySQL website.

I fixed this using another of those methods on the mysql site:

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

That did it for me. Be sure to only type the first line. then hit enter and it makes the -> for you. then add the rest

Did you resolve this? if you got it running on windows server but no css and proper formatting - could it be a local host error on an internal window server issue? if so resolve on local ip address not local host in cofigure.php.

long shot.
