CashServer by wizatek error

[Walletman987]

Hey guys, I'm having a problem with wizatek's cashserver.  We're the server on ubuntu and this is the only server file having problems starting.  Here's the error:

 

Failed to connect to database: Error: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider
upgrading MySQL client
mysql version = 5.5.34
 
How can I fix this error?

You could try to give the mysql user that the server uses a old_password, or even better no password at all.

Its not required to use a password on accounts that are only allowed to connect from 127.0.0.1.

This is because, if a hacker has managed to get in your server he can just read the config files to see the password anyway,

We don't have a password for the mysql user.  It's runnign from root on 127.0.0.1 and gives this error.

Maybe the mysql server is too new for the library or something. Isnt the latest version in the centos repos mysal 5.1.x.x?

I'm using Ubuntu, not CentOS

Figured out that you're correct.  The mysql is too new on Ubuntu, is there any way to make it run off the new one?

 

EDIT:

 

Setting OLD_PASSWORD worked when I tried it a 2nd time.
