 Hi,

It looks like coppermine is great gallery, so I decided to try it out. Usualy I use and write ASP pages for windows and IIS.
Unfortunantly I am not very good at php and mysql.
I downloaded the latest coppermine 1.3.3, mysql 4.1 and php 5.0.4.
Other software I use on the server:
windows 2003
IIS 6

With this configuration I filled in the form on the install.php page and only got a page with a few errors on (line 19-21 or something) and a coppermine logo. I saw a post about long arrays an checked that in the php.ini and it was already turned on. Then I saw people have troubble with php 5 so I downgraded to php 4.3.11.

With php 4 I got a real error
Could not create a mySQL connection, please check the SQL values entered
MySQL error was : Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

So I tried mysql website and got reffered to http://se2.php.net/mysqli.
I get no sensible info from this page.
There I read:
Installation
To install the mysqli extension for PHP, use the --with-mysqli=mysql_config_path/mysql_config configuration option where mysql_config_path represents the location of the mysql_config program that comes with MySQL versions greater than 4.1.
If you would like to install the mysql extension along with the mysqli extension you have to use the same client library to avoid any conflicts.

What does that mean???

btw. mysql say that my mysql client has version 5.0.0

best regards
Victor

Downgrade to mysql < 4.1 is the easiest way around.

I downgraded mySQL and now it works.
