ACID Error: Error (p) connecting to DB

["Paul Pearston" <paul.pearston () btinternet com>]

Hi,
I get the following error when I attempted to access the ACID Console
(https://localhost/acid/index.html) for the first time:
 
 
Warning: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by
server. Consider upgrading MySQL client in
/var/www/html/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 229
Error (p)connecting to DB : snort@localhost:3306 
Check the DB connection variables in acid_conf.php 
               = $alert_dbname   : MySQL database name where the alerts
are stored 
               = $alert_host     : host where the database is stored
               = $alert_port     : port where the database is stored
               = $alert_user     : username into the database
               = $alert_password : password for the username
              
Database ERROR:Client does not support authentication protocol requested
by server. Consider upgrading MySQL client
I can connect to the snort db locally within mysql, however, not from
ACID. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated?
 
Thanks,
 
Paul
