"SQLSTATE[HY000] [2000] mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using the old insecure authentication. Please use an administration tool to reset your password with the command SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('your_existing_password'). This will store a new, and more secure, hash value in mysql.user. If this user is used in other scripts executed by PHP 5.2 or earlier you might need to remove the old-passwords flag from your my.cnf file"

Tried with 5.7.0.1 and now 5.7.0.4.

New domain, no old files littering the area.

php 5.4.26

MySQL: 5.1.68

Tried the SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('your_existing_password') in both PHPMyAdmin and through SQL to the database. No luck.

Any ideas?

Oh well, I used 5.6. on my new site. I'm several versions behind now and this catches me up a bit at least.
