This looks to be a misconfig problem with the mySQL server itself. Take a look at the mysql.users table. Make sure there is some type of entry for user '%' from host '%' with a password. Once those are in place, the server should let you in. Be sure the db you are connecting has proper privileges defined in mysql.db -Martin kerry finn wrote: > Hi, > > I'm new to MySQL.
