[02.29. - 23:02:06] Failed to connect to database: Error: #1251: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

world.exe dies after that.

For this problem I think you need to run the SQL command provided by Angelox in this thread:

I don't think it's anything to do with Perl.

Ok, Here's the deal. I am running Mysql 5xx and the newest Perl distro with the GUI PPM on mine, and it works just fine. The mySQL component you need is called something different in the new GUI based PPM. It's called DBIx-MySQLSequence. The other two components (the IO stringy and the other) are still called the same thing. Once you make sure those three are installed, you are done with perl and it works.

The password fix in the post WORKS. You CAN use MySQL 5xx because I am using it now with no problems. Run that query and you should have no problems. If that doesn't work, then the problem is something else, or you are not running the query correctly. Hope that helps.

you have to run it with the user name in the query that you use to access your database. If it's root, then change it to root, etc..
