Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.2.3

Error

MySQL said:

Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

1. You are running an outdated version of phpMyAdmin. I suggest you upgrade to the latest version (2.3.1-pl1 last I checked).
2. To fix that error, go to mysql.com and download MySQL Administrator.
From that program, you can login to the root account WITHOUT a password, then edit the root account and set a password. Editing accounts in MySQL Administrator is pretty easy, you'll find it. Then close the program, reopening it and this time use the password you just set to login to the root account again. If this succeeds, you can now run vBulletin.

I've just done this and if I got to localhost/phpmyadmin I get the following error

Error

MySQL said:

Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

I didn't get asked to set the username and password either.

I'm running Win2k, if that helps.

I have a pretty basic question on this. I installed the package from the original post. It says to download the VB package, change the config.php file, and then install VB. But the only way to install VB is to run the install.php file, right? But it does not recognize php as a runnable format. Isn't that what it was supposed to do? I am trying to do a brand new install of 3.5, add all the hacks (new versions, including the skin) of my current online site, and then migrate over using the database.

Is that even possible?

[zendiver]

Just a quick question. Do you have to have your websites located in the htdocs folder OR is there a way to install the package on a different drive? Reason I ask, is I don't really want my site on my C: drive just in case it crashes and I have to reinstall the OS.

Thanks Death. I have tried doing this several times and have never got it to work individulally on my home pc.

I guess this thread is dead anymore. what a shame.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Just set the Webroot for your webserver to a different location. What webserver are you using?

[zendiver]

Marco,

I am using the following:
AppServ 2.5.4
- Apache 2.0.54
- MySQL 5.0.15
- PHP 5.0.4
- phpMyAdmin-2.6.2-pl1

I have finally got everything working with the exception of PhotoPost. The Features and Randoms seem to be working fine on the main interface of the forums, but when I click on the Gallery menu choice, I get the following errors:

Warning: main(./global.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in W:\AppServ\www\gallery\header-inc.php on line 61

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in W:\AppServ\www\gallery\header-inc.php on line 61
