thanks!

Subject: Re: [RDD] Win32 Builds of Rivendell; How to?
Opps, I replied, but accidentally only to Tim Camp:
I figured it out. My issue was I did not have permission to access the
mysql database from any ip other than the local machine.
Sometimes, this seems a little harder than it needs to be...Grrrrr.
I found the my.cnf file, located in /etc , NOT /etc/MySQL .
I checked the contents for a "bind-address=" expecting to find a
loopback address. The file did not even contain a "bind-address" entry
at all. From what I gather, when the bind-address is not specified, it
will allow every IP address in the world to connect.
Finally, stumbled onto the "mysql GRANT" entry in the online Rivendell
help [Thanks for pointing me in the right direction]. Prior to issuing
that command, I found the command to see what IPs the user(s) are
allowed to connect on. All users (admin and rduser) were only allowed
from the local machine. Went ahead and issued the "GRANT" command, and
now everything works.
Why the two separate IP address checks???? It makes things confusing
for a newb like me.
-Alan
PS Okay, I guess I can see the need; one global ip check, and then a
"per user" IP check.
