Change to sute tast (or what you database is) Simon -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 24 April 2002 13:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fw: user problem I have mysql installed on a linux platform. I have no problem running every thing as root. When I try to run mysql as a user other than root, I entered command use mysql. I get error 1044:access denied for user:@localhost to database 'mysql'. is there a file that I need to change the permissions on or change the group in a var or usr subdirectory. Thank you for your help on this matter.
