Hi, There is not enough information in your email to help you.. IS your mysql server running ? Also you may wanna scrutinize this page: http://www.mysql.com/doc/P/o/Post-installation.html

Then if I try to connect to the server from another machine I get "host <ip_address> is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server". Any help on these issues and pointers to administration/configuration help would be appreciated. I do have the manual pdf, but 700+ pages is a lot to read and I can't find these issues in the manual by searching. Thanks, Kevin Q. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
