what is the error message you are getting?

Is the MySQL server running on the same machine you are trying to 
connect to or are you connecting to a remote machine?

you can't login from "non-root" shell account ?

try to use mysql like this :
shell> mysql -uroot

and to assign mysql root password :
shell> mysqladmin -uroot password "new-password-for-mysql-root-user"

and to create new mysql user:
mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to @ identified by 
"";
mysql> flush privileges;

Help!! Extreme newbie

2002-09-03 Thread Al Davis

Being new to MYSQL as well as this list, I'm hoping you'll forgive what
I'm sure will be a rather "dumb" question...
I just installed mysql on a new install of SUSE 8.0 and every time I try
to connect to the mysql server as a non root use I am denied
access..have changed passwords, granted permissions, flushed permissions
and yet nothing seems to work...

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
