Trouble installing on my server

    I followed the istallation instructions step by step and still cannot get it installed on my server. I use godaddy for my hosting...is there a known issue with them? All the items below have an "x" in the pre-installation checklist. I'm using MySQL 5.0. The only step that was successful is the data folder is showing up as writable....

    PHP Version >= 4.3.0
    MySQL Version >= 4.1.0

    Correct User and Password for MySQL
    Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

    Your server seems to use an old client to connect to MySQL 5.0
    More detail here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html

    There are few options to solve this:
    1) contact your hosting support and let them know this error. they should be able to upgrade the client.

    2) use mysql 4.1 database instead of mysql 5

    3) Open your database manager for that database from your hosting manager, and then open an SQL query window. In the SQL query window, enter the following:

    SET PASSWORD = OLD_PASSWORD('MyPassword');

    Replace MyPassword with your own password.

    If you don't feel comfortable doing one of those above. Let me know your GoDaddy login info and I'll check it for you.
