[RESOLVED] Running PHP/MySQL on localhost

[modpluz]

i have finally downloaded and install PHP 4.4.2 and MySQL 4.1 but when i try to run a file that has to deal with database.
in a post that was originally posted by visualAd

using that same example, i get the following error


warning mysql_connect(): client does not support authorization protocol requested by server, consider upgrading MySQL client


mySQL is running
PHP is running

if i try other .php pages that has nothing to do with mysql it does work fine
but when i try doing this with mysql it erred.

Please help

Just do what I do and download Triad (if this is windows). It automatically installs Apache, PHP, and MySQL and sets them up for you.
