Bad Handshake

[castlemoat]

Hi,

My PC is a winxp pro using iis.

I using PHP V 5.2.0 and MySQL V 5.0.27.

This combination has worked well for weeks but I now get a "1043 Bad Handshake" error when connecting to MySQL database with any PHP page.
Can anyone advise what may be suddenly causing this ? :-(

Thanks for any advice.

Hi,

I found the answer on a forum.
The problem came about when I installed Navicat V 5.3.12.1 which is not compatable with MySQL V 5.0.27.

Navicat had replaced libmysql.dll with its version overwriting the one installed when I installed MySQL.
Copying the MySQL version into the windows\system32 folder solved the problem.

Thanks for your time.
