As to answer your question, I found a link to another forum, with a simple Google search and it took me +/- 20 seconds. Maybe you should try that yourself, next time you have a question like this. It appears to be a compatibility issue and the best link to look for information is on cPanel's own Web Forums.

They claim that until cPanel is happy that 4.1.x is stable, they will not provide support for it. I think you should be able to manually compile it though.

From what I know, MySQL 4.1 have a new password encryption feature and most outdated MySQL client software won't work because they don't know this new feature and still using the old way for mysql password that's why MySQL denies the connection, I've read the documentation provided by MySQL and it said you can change MySQL 41. back to the old password way and everything should work, or you can wait for a software update on the mysql client/cpanel.

100% accurate. A lot of folks had this concern a while back, when MySQL began listing new features and compatibility lists.

It can indeed be reversed to work 100%

But now? Cpanel is stucked with MySQL 4.1.11 Release and dont do integration of newer MySQL releases like 4.1.12 and 4.1.13 as you can see here:
http://bugzilla.cpanel.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2649

I have a customer that suffering from MySQL bug in 4.1.11 version that have problems with "Traditional-chinese(zhtw-big5)" language, because version 4.1.11 do not support it (just support zhtw-utf-8).

He want me to upgrade MySQL to 4.1.12 but CPanele still not released their version that support it...

Hi there,

In root WHM under "Server Setup" goto "Update Config" and use the "CURRENT" tier of cPanel. Then, you can login to SSH and run this command:

/scripts/mysqlup

That will upgrade you to 4.1.13. You also may want to run:

/scripts/upcp

This is because you just changed the cPanel tier that you want to use.
