Re: WebDNA v6 & MySQL
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2008
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 70004
interpreted = N
texte = Glad to see you got it sorted. The message I tried to post yesterday was regarding passwords too. We had a related but slightly different problem to do with the password length. Here is my post again (assuming it gets through this time) in case it might help others in the future... ------------------------ Make sure the password is the short type. WebDNA doesn't work with the long more secure passwords that MySQL uses now (from version 4.1 onwards). Use... SET PASSWORD FOR 'someuser'@'somehost' = OLD_PASSWORD('new_password'); ....to set old type password.
