MYSQL 5.6 Error Question

[jbeitz107]

I know this may be the wrong section in which to post but, I hope that you guys would shed some light on this subject.

Currently I am dealing with an old school game server. Gunbound. Everything connects just fine except for the servers themselves. I cannot alter the coding behind it for the connection type but, I get an 1251 Error and would like to know if there is a way to enable the old passwords in MySQL 5.6+? If so would someone be so kind as to give direction as how to do it? I have googled consistently for the last 4 days approx. 4 - 6 hours daily with no fix in site.

Thank you for any help that you can offer.

Error no. 1251: "Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server - consider upgrading MySQL client"

It occurs when the hashing-method for storing password used by the client differs from the one of the server. Typically it occurs when trying to connect to MySQL 4.1 or 5.6+ with a client compiled for 3.x or 4.0.

Go to that site and should fix your issue or downgrade mysql client.
