Does Advanced Poll support MySQL 4.1? I just installed the latest version of MySQL and PHP and I'm getting a connection error at the beginning of the installation.

What does the error say exactly and it should work with version 4.

It's late and I can't explain it exactly. If you look at the MySQL doc, search on OLD_PASSWORD. You'll need to set it so it uses the old authentication method. I had this same exact problem twice this week, once installing vBulletin and tonight installing Advanced Poll. A very poorly documented problem. Finding out how to fix this made me age five years from frustration
