PostNuke .750 MySQL and FreeBSD 5.3

[joe]

Just did a bread and butter install of litespeed onto an existing FreeBSD 5.3 box which had mysql 5.0.0_2 client and server packages installed. Had php5, but it was removed before with no concerns.

After installing lite speed and setting up a virtual host to point to the PostNuke install folders it fails in the installion while attempting to connect to the database with this error:


No database made.Error connecting to db
Program: /usr/local/lsws/DEFAULT/html/PostNuke-0.750/html/install/db.php - Line N.: 45
Database: litespeed
Error (1250) : Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client


I saw a similar post here about phpBB, and you're obviously not having troubles so....
the php.info output shows that the mysql.sock is correctly found in /tmp/mysql.sock. I had to add this to the php.ini. according to the other post. Now I'm stuck. I'm sure the mysql account I'm using to login from the PostNuke install exists and mysql is running.


What am I missing next??
