The "web application" is running in an environment *outside* of the server, compared to your context, which may be 'root@localhost', for instance.
The browser's context, then, might be '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; thus, you will need to add an entry to m,ysql.user table. C:~ -----Original Message----- From: Henry de Jong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 7:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: how do I give permissions to a web browser It seems that an internet connection from a browser to my unix/apache hosted mysql database presents itself as some user to whom I haven't yet given permissions because the calling web page gives up without a whimper. I have generous permissions for 'root', 'nobody' and 'localhost'. The perl script works fine from my shell acount (through a socket) and works up till the connect statement in the browser. How can I 'identify' the browser or change the script to accomodate a browser connection. thanks, Henry de Jong --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
