Utter Confusion

[LosingFocus]

I just recently got Pixelpost and wanted to start a photo blog. I bought a domain and hosting space so I could. I have been trying for 2 days to do the installation and I can't get past Database Host and Database Name. I fill in what it says yet it is not working properly. When I put in the host name is says and all my info it says:

Database Connection Error: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
Database Connection Error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

Although This is a very up to date MySQL v5.0

This is what the host control panels says:

MySQL Database Information
Status:
Setup
Host Name:
p41mysql7.secureserver.net
Database Name:
losingfocus
Database Version:
4.1
Description:
Trying to get this to work
User Name:
losingfocus
DSN:
mysql_losingfocus.dsn


I understand this may be to complex to explain in a message but I just spent a handful of cash on this so I would like to try to make it work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From the looks of things, the name of your database host is: p41mysql7.secureserver.net
This would go into the $pixelpost_db_host field in pixelpost.php

localhost can be used if the mysql database is located at the same physical server (under the same IP) as the script which is calling it. Usually this is the same so usually localhost is just right.
Obviously your mysql database and your content server are located on different machines, so localhost won't work for you
