[RESOLVED] php 4 and mysql 5

after a lot of hard work ,i could manage to run apache2 server on my localhost with php4.3.3. .
i am also running mysql5.0 in my background ,i was actually thinking of running a forum using the freely available phpbb2 package.
iam now having a strange problem:
the php modules work and so does phpmyadmin and phpbb(the initial pages only)
but when i try to proceed it gives an error with "code#1251 - Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client"

what could be happening here ,i tried php5.0 but because they removed support for mysql5.0,i had to revert to php4.3.3. also iam running phpbb2(the latest one).

thanks in advance!!

i had a similar problem earlier on but visualAd gave me this link.
