Installing and upgrading help

When trying to install moodle on w2k3 + apache 1.3.31/php 4.3.11 + mysql 4.1 I had some trouble getting past the databasepart in install.php.

Created database manually
Created database user manually, granted access
Manually configured config.php

No luck : still database connection problems

Finally I found the solution :

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html

It appears that my version of php (4.3.11) uses old mysql libs.

So change the moodle user password :

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR
    -> 'moodle_user'@'database_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');

Now the installations runs fine
