Hi!
OS: XP (yeah, I know...)
WebServer: Apache2
PHP version: 4.3.9
MySQL version: 4.1.7-nt
Problem:
This is what I get when I press "check and save" from the config page:
- Could not connect to database; check your settings.
The mySQL error was: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
Am I just tired or is there anything that´s broken?

I think your MySQL server is broken, or lacking some auth modules - never seen that error before though

It seems that the DLL for your PHP-MySQL module is using an outdated client API specification. You are advised to use mysqli instead, or downgrade your MySQL version to a 4.0 version.

I don´t know if that was the problem or not, but now I have it up and running, thanks!
It seems like that was not the only problem... if you enter a long name as the administrator name, you won´t be able to enter the admin page.
Try: 123456789 123456789123 as name (which just happens to be as long as my real name).
I think I found another problem with the database user as well, but I have to try it again.

Re: Next problem
Yes, the database username is limited to 20 characters, and password to 32 characters...to be honest, since all the time Serendipity exists (about 2 years now) nobody ever used a longer name.

The password is not limited to 32 chars, as it is md5 encoded and md5 is always 32 chars, nomatter what the password might be
