Seems everything is going against me since thursday when my server went offline.

I uploaded a fresh install of vbulletin not the latest version but close - 3.6.8

I prepared the config.php file and uploaded that. And at the 2nd page of the installer i get this shitty message:

Attempting to attach to database

Error description: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client /usr/home/mysite/public_html/includes/class_core.php on line 274

The database has failed to connect because you do not have permission to connect to the server. Please confirm the values entered in the 'includes/config.php' file.

I have installed plenty of scripts im my days but these last days nothing has worked as I wanted.

Can any mysql expert see what im doing wrong?
