When I'm trying to install wikimedia in my local server (xampp) I'm getting this ERROR ! Please help me to fix this ASAP!thanks
Here's the error
""" Connected to mysql 5.1.40; You are using MySQL 4.1 server, but PHP is linked to old client libraries; if you have trouble with authentication, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html for help """
In most of the cases I know it only requires to set a new password - hashed by the new MySQL method - for the MySQL database. The MySQL password hashing method has been improved starting with 4.1 I think.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/password-hashing.html Section Compatibility Issues Related to Hashing Methods
So be /courageous /and simply set a new password as explained on the page Make sure - I guess you have - to have a dump of your database(s).
You will see that once you have replaced the "old" Password (password hashed by the old method) by a (new or the same) password using the new hash method, it will work.
Disclaimer: make sure to have valid database dump(s).
