Hi Claudio, > you probably have the anonymous user account taking over: ''@'localhost' > login as root and: > mysql> drop user ''@'localhost'; Thanks a lot, that solved the problem (and saved my day :) !).
> when you specify the host with -h you are actually forcing MySQL to use > TCP/IP so it will authenticate you using your ip address (127.0.0.1) Actually even with -h127.0.0.1 specified, I got "access denied for ...@localhost".
