From: Paul Hammer Date: 2007-03-15T05:48:45+09:00 Subject: Using ruby with mysql Under Windows XP, I have Ruby installed and running, and I have mysql installed and running. I want to use these together. I've used "gem install mysql" to install the client between the two: mysql 2.7.3 (mswin32) Now this statement: dbh = Mysql.real_connect("localhost", "root", "mysql", "test") Gives me this error: Error code: 1251 Error message: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client mysql 2.7.3 was the newest client in the list. Any help would be appreciated. Paul -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
