The error he gets is the error fpc raises when mysql_connect() fails.
So I think it is something else.

However, to test this, Larry, can you please please test on the command
line, on the machine where lazarus is running:

mysql

If you see:
Client does not support authentication protocol requested
by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

then you'll know what to do

additionally, can you test what you get with:

mysql -u root -p yourpassword -D bankofamerica

Considering you are using a bitnami install, phpadmin may be configured with some extra parameters.

Michael.
