Hi Tom, I guess you're on a unix system. If you connect locally, the C mysql client use local sockets while mysql.r use TCP ports. So the points to check are :
- Does your mysql server run on the default port 3306 or different one ? - Does your mysql server allow for TCP connection ? - Is your [EMAIL PROTECTED] authorized to connect to "database" ? On Linux, a reverse DNS under REBOL often give localhost.localdomain instead of just localhost. If it's the case, the simplier way to workaround that is to grant access to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on mysql server.
