RE: Password problem
When connecting from a command line, mysql uses 3 of the columns in the user table to decide whether or not to grant access. These are host, user, and password. Note that in your results below, there is no localhost-newsletter-testPass combination. What the table shows is that clients from any host other than localhost can log in to a mysql client using the newsletter and testPass combination. If you want to login using a client on the same machine that you're running mysql, you need to add another entry to the user table, i.e., GRANT ALL PRIVILIGES ON newsletter.* TO newsletter@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'testPass' It took me a while to figure that one out, but it's saved me a lot of frustration knowing it now. I guess I don't understand why localhost isn't included in the % wildcard for the host column in this table. Anybody?

Look at the password entry in the results below starting with 61fa If the password had been stored as plain text, it would show as 'testPass'. The only way I've been able to get an unencrypted password into this table (quite unintentionally, I assure you) is to update the table directly as in update user set password='testPass' where user = 'newsletter'; Of course, this was back when I was scratching my head over the same problem below...

Yes. See Chapter 4.3.5 of the mysql manual. Note that we must issue GRANT statements for both monty@localhost and monty@%. hth, Doug Thanks, Neil. -- Neil Aggarwal JAMM Consulting, Inc.(972) 612-6056, http://www.JAMMConsulting.com Custom Internet DevelopmentWebsites, Ecommerce, Java, databases - 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?

RE: running as NT service problem
I had this same problem. Based on a similar thread, I went into the properties for the service, changed it run under a user account with admin privileges, applied the changes, then changed it back to run under the local account and applied the changes. No more problem. Go figure. -Original Message- From: Victoria Reznichenko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 10:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: re: running as NT service problem On Tuesday 07 January 2003 11:49, Leonid Prokopets wrote: I'm having a problem running MySQL as NT service on Win2000 plattform. It works allright in manual mode (by 'mysqld' command), but refuses to run as service. I installed the service by 'mysqld-max-nt --install' command. The system reported NT service successfully installed. MySQL appeared in service list. But then I tried to start it it returned Error 1067. The MySQL service can not be started. I should add that I dont have such problem on WinNT server plattform - everything runs smoothly. Run the following from the DOS prompt: mysqld-max-nt.exe --standalone --console You can see errors in the output. -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/?ref=ensita This email is sponsored by Ensita.net http://www.ensita.net/ __ ___ ___ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ /Victoria Reznichenko / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ MySQL AB / Ensita.net ___/ www.mysql.com - 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?
