Hi, I just installed mysql 3.23.37 on a FreeBSD 4.2 server. The access to the db works fine from the command line with "-h=localhost" option but when the localhost is replaced with the IP address it doesn't. I've added an entry in the "user" table with the IP address & restarted mysqld. The entries in the user table are identical except for the host field. Thanks in advance, Lisa --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
