imcompatibility between mysql V3 libraries on webapp and PHP4 - problem: cannot connect to database

| |

starting phpwebsite:

mysqladmin -u root -p create itacwebdb

mysql -u root -p
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON itacwebdb.* TO itacwebdba@localhost
IDENTIFIED BY 'somedecentpassword';
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR admin@localhost=OLD_PASSWORD('thepassword');
mysql> exit

[the database administrator password must be stored in hash format for V3 mysql libraries -- may need to use this if accessed by PHP4 libraries. ]
