Can't connect as non-root user to database

2012-03-16 Thread Clemens Eisserer
Hi, All I would like to do is the create a small database with a non-root user which is allowed to access the db, however after hours of trying I gave up. I am using MySQL-5.5.20 on Fedora16 . CREATE USER 'someone'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'somepass'; CREATE DATABASE somedb; GRANT ALL ON somedb.* TO

Hi Rik, Have you tried the _full_ user-identification (which is with host)? GRANT ALL ON somedb.* TO 'someone'@'%'; Yes I had (and just tried to verify) but it didn't help. Could it be Fedora's mysql packages are special somehow? Re-installing mysql after deletig its data-directory didn't

Hi, 1. FLUSH PRIVILEGES is not needed, the SQL commands to manage user and grants reload automatically the grant tables, that was used in the very past when people use to tinker directly the grant tables. 2. you did not specify the @ part of the 'someone' : GRANT ALL ON somedb.* TO

Hi Rik, Hm, is the mysql-client library the same as the mysql-server? Yes. And does mysql --host=127.0.0.1 --user=someone -p somedb work (or it's actual IP-address, forcing the TCP/IP connect instead of possible sockets) ? This is really strange - with -h127.0.0.1 I get the same error: ERROR

you probably have the anonymous user account taking over: ''@'localhost' when you specify the host with -h you are actually forcing MySQL to use TCP/IP so it will authenticate you using your ip address (127.0.0.1) login as root and: mysql drop user ''@'localhost'; and try again Cheers

Simon, It's likely that when you specify the times as integer literals they are being converted to something you don't expect. You can use EXPLAIN EXTENDED followed by SHOW WARNINGS to see what's happening; it might be interesting and educational. I would specify the times you want as datetime

Hi Shawn, I understand the logic behind seperating local and remote users, postgresql does the same thing in its pg_hba.conf file. However, what I don't understand is the way this turned out to be such a huge problem (for me), as it worked already with MySQL-5.1 a few years ago. I've worked with

Hello David, Precisely, that's what my problem is. The users found in mysqlinst1 are not in mysqlinst2. There are about 30 users defined in inst1 and only 4 in inst2. I would like to sync these tables. How do you do it in short of creating 26 accounts in mysqlinst2 one at a time - too tedious.

Hi Clemens, my pleasure! I forgot, you had to use also -P3306, so using both -h and -P which deny the lookup for users at localhost, forcing TCP-IP. and so IPs. this is also good when the socket file is not in the standard location, you will have the same problem logging in locally, using -h
