RE: Re: Re: Access denied @locahost
Just jumping in here so take this info accordingly. Do you have root access to this machine? If so, try restarting with --skip-grant-tables and set up your perm scheme. Look into mysqlaccess what does it say for root localhost ? You can also replace user, host, db with '%' to see all possibilities. Check man page; I may have messed up the ordering of the three. It's also good to post your sql version since some syntax changes for specific commands. Read man pages carefully since user -p pass user -ppass and user --password= aren't the same. Do a search for grant on the mysql man pages. Once you've got that straight you might want to save credentials in /root/.my.cnf and probably delete that anonymous account. There's a syntax tip for that on linuxsecurity.com justin -Original Message- From: Egor Egorov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 3:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Re: Re: Access denied @locahost Hello tlr7425, Thursday, June 27, 2002, 12:29:10 PM, you wrote: Please, don't write me.

Re: Access denied @locahost
have you run the "grant" command? this adds users SEPERATE from your unix user list. - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "MySQL List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 2:39 PM Subject: Access denied @locahost I've been scowering (sp?) the docs but I can't get past: mysql> use mysql; ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'mysql' mysql> This happens under any condition where access is needed.
