thank you very much for this support. I was really thinking this may be it after much reading but I'm still unclear. Obviously if I'm getting 3.x to work then it has to be related to this differnt password scheme.
So if i'm understanding correctly I should:
install 4.x or 5.x
run the command you mentioned
then try to install XOOPS again?
Will changing this password config affect mySQL and other advanced visual managment tools from accessing the database?
Now that I have a 3.x database going and XOOPS will it be a problem to upgrade to 4.x/5.x? and run this command or should I just do a fresh install since there isn't much in that database?
I'm a average DIY tech for our business but have no coding skills nor expereince beyond PHP or mySQL for dummies books! So every decision I make tends to create more questions that I stuggle to find! I've got my website working (see:
http://www.carboncow.net) but I would love to still upgrade mySQL so I can use the great interface for admin!
Thanks.
