    Reminder Re: Castpics

    How many of you know about it or use it? It's there for us and actually all of Internetdom (that's a place isn't it). Recently one of our own was wanting some load data he couldn't find anymore. Lo and behold it was available at Castpics in the Load Data Section. Ya know, y'all really ought to go there and check around for what's there. Lots of good stuff.

    Where is it? Go to the bottom of the page and click on CASTPICS. http://www.castpics.net/

    I keep getting this error message, "Failed to connect to sundog5_LoadData at mysql1.hostica.com. Error: mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using the old insecure authentication. Please use an administration tool to reset your password with the command SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('your_existing_password'). This will store a new, and more secure, hash value in mysql.user. If this user is used in other scripts executed by PHP 5.2 or earlier you might need to remove the old-passwords flag from your my.cnf file"
    How or where do I go to fix this.

    I know nothing about the load data lookup portion of Castpics. The info the member I referred to wanted was in the Free Manuals section of Load Data. Regards, Woody

    Thanks for the tutorial Woody-
    I did not know it was there and in 10 minutes answered about 50 questions that have been in the back of my mind.

    The Load Data Base is Not functioning Has been that way for near a month the owner needs to update his password For the Load data look up:
    Failed to connect to sundog5_LoadData at mysql1.hostica.com. Error: mysqlnd cannot connect to MySQL 4.1+ using the old insecure authentication. Please use an administration tool to reset your password with the command SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('your_existing_password'). This will store a new, and more secure, hash value in mysql.user. If this user is used in other scripts executed by PHP 5.2 or earlier you might need to remove the old-passwords flag from your my.cnf file

    Sure wish it gets fixed soon! I used it all the time .........up until a month ago

    I've gone to the new link, haven't figured out how to access load data, do you need to login or something?

    Thank you, I had forgotten about this source and do have need of it as I've recently purchased a 270 Winchester pistol for which I already had 2 molds, just no reloading data. I do now.
