TYPO3 Core

"Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in"

This is a common problem in case the database is old. Its easy to solve with the function OLD_PASSWORD in mysql.

A warning or hint should be included into the install tool to inform a guy who is installing typo3 of this possibility

sql>UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd')
-> WHERE Host = 'some_host' AND User = 'some_user';
sql>FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

is easy done... But a poor devil who is under pressure installing typo3 might forget or does not know about this possibility

Lots of frustration could be avoided.

Some people are not using Typo3 for fun... Their bosses asked them to handle and learn typo3....
