XF 1.3 Does xenforo 1.3 support PHP 5.5?

[kevinchan]

Hi Guys,

I have just upgraded my Forum which running on Xenforo 1.3 to PHP version 5.5, then i got the error message while accessing my forum: "An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later."

May i know if anyone encountered this issue before? and how can i fix it?

Thanks!

Check your server error logs. If I recall, that message is suppressing an error.

Check the HTML source for the database error.

The actual error is this: The server requested authentication method unknown to the client

Which version of MySQL are you running?

Hi Brogan,

My forum is running My SQE Version: 5.5.32. and now i'm able to access into the admin CP as well...

Thanks all!...

A quick Google search shows the potential cause being the new password hash length introduced in MySQL 4.1. The old one is not compatible with PHP 5.3+.

If you have managed hosting, your host should be able to help resolve it.
