My Magento install is version 1.7.0.2. My host decided to upgrade the PHP version to 5.4 and this stopped my frontend and backend from working with an error of SQLSTATE[HY000] [2054] The server requested authentication method unknown to the client.
My host ended up rolling back the php version to 5.3 but have told me that in the next few months, they will have to install php 5.4.
Is anyone able to point me in the right direction as to what is causing this error with php 5.4 ????
I would appreciate any help with this.
Thanks
