As I recall when I set this up on my machine, you have to identify your machine in the host table (identify it as a permitted host), the db table (let mysql know to what db's, as what user, with what permissions you're allowed to connect), and I believe the user table to the mysql db. With these three mysql db table entries, you should be in business.
