About the ‘new’ versus ‘old’ mysql password command :
This is not only for 10.6 – after I upgraded a 10.5.8 stock php install with entropy’s one (to get the GD support) I had to do this too.So this is a PHP MySQL driver upgrade issue

Very detailed info.
I guess today it’s more comfortable and quick and very cheap to get your Wordpress blog as pre-installed script with your domain name and hosting account literally in 10 minutes without a “headache” of creating databases, users and so on :)

Have any tips for setting up access to allow WordPress’s Auto-Update feature to work?

For Snow Leopard users you need to use the “new” password format else you will get the “error establishing a database connection” and if you use echo(mysql_error()); before the html error output in wp-includes/wp-db.php (line 343 in version 2.8.4) it will say “mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using old authentication”.

So instead of using:

set password for wpuser@localhost = old_password(‘wppass’);

Use:

set password for wpuser@localhost = password(‘wppass’);

Hi, noob here. I startted to follow your tut and didnt get far. I had to create a .profile because there wasn’t one already. So I did “nano .profile” to create it. Then I added the export path. After leaving the .profile file, I cant find a way to get back in. but also not sure how to change from local host in the terimal to run commands for the next mysql step.

many thanks.
