Just installed all the 4 successfully on windowx xp prof. ( that's what i think..)
I can see apache web server. And have successfully started viewing the php pages on [localhost...]
The problem that i am facing is - on using [localhost...] i get the error -
[Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.5.6
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in config.inc.php and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.
Error
MySQL said:
#1251 - Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client]
Have invested the whole day with no result.
Any feedbacks to sort it out are appreciated.
REgards,

based on this, i would confirm you are using the latest version of phpmyadmin.
also, at: [phpmyadmin.net...] on point 1.17a, it says:
[1.17a] I cannot connect to the MySQL server. It always returns the error message, "Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client"
-- You tried to access MySQL with an old MySQL client library. The version of your MySQL client library can be checked in your phpinfo() output.
In general, it should have at least the same minor version as your server - as mentioned in FAQ 1.17.
The only way to fix this problem is manually compiling php and its MySQL extension against a current MySQL client library.
If you still face this problem, please compile your MySQL client library against the same or a newer MySQL release.
perhaps someone who could translate the "compile" bit into windows speak could help us here, but i did find this: [dev.mysql.com...]
if you have not added any data to your database yet, and have not spent much time constructing tables etc, i would personally be tempted to completely uninstall mysql and reinstall from the latest mysql.com version. if you choose this route, also be sure to search for and delete: mysqlclient.lib before reinstalling from the newer version.
