By replacing the comma with a colon I was able connect to the database; it now looks like I have a permission problem where the user on computer B has no permission to reload the data on computer A.
I was also able to login at the command prompt with the same error. My error was : ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) I will check in to this, I am sure I am missing a grant somewhere !

Try DBI:mysql:webmaster:blackhole Also if you do this from the command line what happens after you put in the password you have in your script? $ mysql -u yourusernamehere -p -h blackhole webmaster > What Tore said is true! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
