Cant install - fialing at database page.

[the_el_man]

Downloaded the latest 1.6 and on a fresh installation it wont connect on the database page. I've used PS a lot in older versions and know what to put in, and I have check db name, server, pw etc.

 

It keeps saying:

Database Server is not found. Please verify the login, password and server fields (DbPDO)

 

With dev mode on it says:

Warning: PDO::__construct(): The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [mysql_old_password] in /home/lctprope/public_html/classes/db/DbPDO.php on line 44

which is

return new PDO($dsn, $user, $password, array(PDO::ATTR_TIMEOUT => $timeout, PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY => true));

 

 

 

I have tried to make a new database, new database user, even tried a database on a different server. No luck with anything. Anyone had anything similar? I'm really confused here.

 

Thanks

(restating problem for google fu)

 

Found this when having same problem trying to migrate from prestashop 1.4 to prestashop 1.6 install gives error:

Database Server is not found. Please verify the login, password and server fields (DbPDO)

 

Seems prestashop now tries to detect mysql, mysqli, or dbpdo for connecting and falsely detects dbpdo.  I am investigating my server configuration still, but the quick fix was to force mysql method by commenting out lines 288-293 in /classes/db/Db.php
