Hello,
first of all thanx for a quick reply.
I have specified the password in the user table using
1. update user set Password=PASSWORD('password') where user='User_name';
Earlier i executed
2. grant all priviliges on Nitesh to user_name@'IPAddress'
Similarly i have specified
password for root on server in the user table. In case of user, when i login
without password , it actually has no privileges. And secondly what about
"my.conf"
Thanx
