Thank you, Carl and Chris, for helping me with this problem. Something else must be happening, as I still can't log in: www:~ # mysql -u zope -p Enter password: ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'zope@localhost' (Using password: YES) www:~ #

Why didn't this work? It did work. You granted all privileges on the database zope, but the privileges in the 'user' table are the _global_ privileges. Those are what you set with GRANT ...

For some reason you always get a 0 back from GRANT. There's probably some internal reason for this. //C -- Carl Troein - Círdan / Istari-PixelMagic - UIN 16353280 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://pixelmagic.dyndns.org/~cirdan/ Amiga user since '89, and damned proud of it too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
