Does XOOPS work with MySQL 4.1.x?

I am getting the dreaded "Could not connect to the database server." message on install and I have been searching, but have yet to find a solution to correct this issue. I am running a Windows Machine with Apache and PHP 4.3.7

I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with my MySQL install, because I have a few other web apps that are using it with no issue.

Thanks,

u should use the search function on this site and search for MySQL 4.1 etc or search google for problems with php and mysql.. you would then find similar posts not only related to xoops..

the problem is with your php version. MySQL php 4.1x uses new authentication hash keys and therefore you will need to either set sql to use the old password method or upgrade to the latest stable php version (php 4.3.10 or higher) or use MySQL 4.0.x

hope that explains a bit.. there are numerous posts regarding this though..

Thanks,

Running a:

SET PASSWORD FOR
-> 'blog' = OLD_PASSWORD('bloguserpassword');

Against my mySQL did the trick.
