I have a PHP ver 4.4 and MySQL ver 4.1 installed with my home server IIS ver 5.

I tried to install the LiveHelp with the setup.php wizard but is always failed. I curious with the connectivity between PHP and MySQL and I wrote a small PHP script to showing the connectivity to MySQL and it's right, the error says "Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client", honestly I have no idea what that caused.

So could you please help me?
Thanks.

What's "LiveHelp"?

Your LiveHelp is probably built to be used on an earlier version of PHP than 4.1

You'll have to either get a newer version of LiveHelp that's built to use of 4.1 and later versions, or use a server which uses an older version of PHP.
