I am trying to connect to my database with mysqlgui
as root. I have gone into "options" and entered the
port number and the path to the socket. I have "ask for
password" checked on and am using the same password that
works when I do "mysql -u root -p". I have tried accessing
the mysql db and a test one, both with the same results.
When I try to connect and enter the password the error is:
Access denied for user: 'root@<host.domain>' (Using password: YES)
When "ask for password" is off, I get the same error plus
more saying I have corrupt files, or no privileges. The
entire mysql package was recently installed, and just one
test database exists with one table. It works fine so I
don't think I have corrupt files, and I know I have
privileges.
I have verified that mysqld is using the port with
fuser <port#>/tcp
The only problem I can think of is that this system's name
is not resolvable via dns. It is on a non-routable network
address behind a firewall, and just static files are used
for internal hosts.
Does mysqlgui _have_ to verify the host via dns? If so can
that be turned off somehow?
Thanks
