After succesful install: mysql error: 1251

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Hello,
I'm getting deperate here.

I installed the linpha website, I installed the mysql db which is already running databases for other websites.

I went to the LinPHA install page and I got a succesfull install (INSTALLATION COMPLETE! and only green text, not red, 19 tables are created). But when I want to go to the login page I get this message:

mysql error: [1251: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client] in CONNECT(localhost:3306, '****', '****', linpha)
Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

Database Connection Error

Service should be back shortly
The LinPHA Team

I tried everything, setting the password for the user to an old password with less hashes. Restarting the database and the webserver. What should I do? Btw, I'm not a db expert..

Best regards,

Did a new website install (tar xvzf).
Removed old database in mysql.
Went to the install webpage of linpha.
Used root account two times.
Install succesfull.
Added in the mysql server a new account to use with linpha database with an old_password (less hashes).
Added this account info to db_connect.php.

Now it worked. Pfff...
