Re: [webmin-l] problem with managing MySQL databases in webmin

[<jca...@we...>]

Hi Tim,
This can happen if the MySQL client libraries are out of sync with the My=
SQL server on your system. The best solution is to upgrade the DBD::mysql=
 Perl module, which can be done using the Perl Modules page in Webmin.

The alternative is to tell Webmin to use it's own (slightly less reliable=
) code to talk to MySQL. This can be done by clicking on the Module Confi=
g link, and changing the 'Use DBI to connect' option to 'No'.

Greetings,

This is my first message and I'm very new with Webmin.  I have a MySQL 5
server running on a Linux box, and I am trying to use Webmin to manage
the databases on the MySQL server.

I can successfully start and stop the MySQL server with Webmin, but when
I try to manage users or tables or anything I get the following error:

> DBI connect failed : Client does not support authentication protocol
> requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

I have the same version of the client running as I do the server.  I
don't understand why I am getting this error.

Thanks,
Tim
