The full error is probably access for Host denied. Look at http://www.mysql.com/doc/A/c/Access_denied.html for the answerer and search the new's group archives on how to GRANT the HOST access to the database.

The MySQL is of version 4.0.1 in a RedHat Linux 7.2, also I install a MyODBC version 3.5 in the client machine. In fact, I am using PowerBuilder on Windows platform as a programming tool, and I setup the DSN on the Windows machine with hostname=server's IP and signon with "root" through PowerBuilder, but an error message returned telling that the MySQL database cannot be accessed. So, would anyone tell me the reason, proper procedures or just tell me where could I find manuals or other materials for this topic? Thank you very much. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
