It's not enough to just specify the user name in the grant statement. You need to specify the host or '%' for any host (section 4.3.1 GRANT and REVOKE Syntax in the manual).
Try... mysql> grant all on marksstuff.* to 'mark'@'localhost' identified by 'password'; mysql> flush privileges; Then to login as that user... > mysql --user=mark --password=password marksstuff If you still get an error logging in, login as root using the '-E' option so the output from queries is printed vertically (more readable) then do a select * from table user where user = mark. This will help us find the answer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Healey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jeff Weeks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 11:23 PM Subject: Re: Cant login as a user I thought I created > On Wed, 13 Aug 2003 15:50:02 -0700, Jeff Weeks wrote: > > >How did you create user mark? > > I figured the grant statement would take care of that.
