Hello,

I'm writing this manual cause there are lots of problems with MySQL 4+.

Requirements:
1) You need to have a working MySQL deamon on your (linux) system!
2) You need to have root-acces!
3) You need a gameserver with AMXmodX installed and configured for MySQL!
4) You need a keyboard, monitor and a pc ;-)

How to do this?
1) Add --old-passwords to your MySQL deamon's startup-command.
Example:

/bin/mysql.server start --old-passwords > /dev/null &

2) Restart your MySQL deamon.
3) Create a new user
This can help you if you don't know how!
4) Set a password (REQUIRED!!)

SET PASSWORD FOR 'username'@'host' = OLD_PASSWORD('password')

(replace: username, host and password!)
5) restart your gameserver
6) everything should work now

If you have comments/suggestions, please post them

Greetz,
GDX^

it's very good you did this but I'm afraid it will be lost on the board within a few days

What? How can it be very good? It states on the requirements that one should have: a working MySQL server and a working gameserver configured for MySQL, so what do you need this for? Then this "manual" has a structure that resembles a "tips and tricks" style and is made of lost phrases around 2 ideas (and the implementation of the first one is everything but robust and lasting through reboots).

I myself, and mind that I understand a bit of Linux database server setup, had to read the thing twice to understand the structure of the post, not to mention it's content.
