I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this but...
I moved my website to a VPS that has a newer version of PHP (5.4.19) and MySql (5.5.32-cll). I get this error now:
[21-Sep-2013 00:48:32 UTC] PHP Warning: PDO::__construct(): The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [mysql_old_password] in /home/jeff/public_html/libraries/rokcommon/Doctrine/Connection.php on line 470
I read that... but their solution was to downgrade to php5.2.8. There has got to be a better way. And for some reason, it only affects this template. Other RT Joomla sites on this server are fine.
What really concerns me is that the entire joomla site works with no errors except the front page doesn't show the main tabs in the main section.
The only thing in the error_logs is this:
[24-Sep-2013 14:36:43 America/Los_Angeles] PHP Warning: PDO::__construct(): The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [mysql_old_password] in /home/jeff/public_html/libraries/rokcommon/Doctrine/Connection.php on line 470

If I delete the log and visit all other pages (administrator and web pages), I see no errors. So obviously PHP and MySQL are communicating correctly.
What is causing the main area of my home page to not work?
