This is my first use of mySQL, so forgive my ignorance. My problem is that I am not allowed to do anything as the new user I just created. The mysql utility refuses to allow access. Note that I did run "mysqladmin reload" after granting privileges. I have the mysql daemon running. I've created a root password. Then I added a user to the mysql user table giving the user access from any host with a '%' and a password. Then I created a database and gave the user almost all priviledges on the data base. Here is the ouput from mysql ncasi% mysql -u pvandeus -p Enter password: ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'pvandeus@localhost' (Using password: YES) ncasi% Heres is output from mysqlaccess ncasi% mysqlaccess \* pvandeus mysql -U root -P ************ Could not open outputfile ~/mysqlaccess.log for debugging-info mysqlaccess Version 2.06, 20 Dec 2000 By RUG-AIV, by Yves Carlier ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Changes by Steve Harvey ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
