Good Morning, Recently, on an otherwise functioning system, I began getting the following message ERROR 1130: Host '' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server I am running both the client and server from Solaris 7 machines. MySQL version is 3.22.32 This started happening about two days ago, and before I was able to connect fine. The command that causes this error runs on a client, trying to connect to a different machine. Here is the command being run:This is a simple shell script. : echo "select netid,login from names where ssn='$1%';" | mysql -h uba.usf.edu -P 3306 -u blackbrd nams hostname returns the correct host, resolveip returns the correct host, nslookup returns the correct host. Somewhere, MySQL is not looking for the client hostname corerctly. I guess my question is where does MySQL look for the hostname, and how can I check what it is looking for? Thanks in advance for looking at my problem. I appreciate any help received. Thanks, Glen --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
