More problems with install

I have seen many instances of this problem in this forum, which is why I really tried to do my homework before coming in with the same problem. My connection to MySQL fails when trying to install ltwCalendar. Below is the IE output when the failure happens, along with some code I added to the script to show that I have updated the ltw_config.php file properly. Below that is the mySQL window output of me logging in successfully using those same parameters. I am using Windows XP, PHP v4.4.2, and ltwCalendar v4.0. Other than the required changes to ltw_config.php, I have made no other changes to the ltwCalendar scripts. Any help is greatly appreciated...

I'm going to venture a guess based on based on what you've described that the issue you are having is what is referred to in the article here:


Client does not support authentication protocol

You likely won't see that actual error message unless you go into ltw_classes.php, and on lines 601 and 603 remove the '@' sign.

(The lines I'm referring to begin "this->dbh=@mysql...")

BINGO! Thanks, worked great....
