You wrote, "You need to create a root password and other users." insert into mysql.user set Host='localhost', User='<whatever userid you want>',
* * * * * * * * * * Thanks, but that gave me an error message. I clicked on a particular database, then clicked Privileges and changed the password from "root" to "chestnut." But instead of assigning chestnut to that database, it apparently assigned it to EVERY database. Every database I click Privileges on now displays the following: User Host Type Privileges Grant Action chestnut localhost global ALL PRIVILEGES Yes root localhost global ALL PRIVILEGES Yes root webeditions-computer.local global ALL PRIVILEGES Yes Yet I can't write a database connection using "chestnut" as the username....except for the table "test." This is what its privileges look like: User Host Type Privileges Grant Action Any % database-specific ALL PRIVILEGES No chestnut localhost global ALL PRIVILEGES Yes root localhost global ALL PRIVILEGES Yes root webeditions-computer.local global ALL PRIVILEGES Is there some way I can go into phpMyAdmin > NewDatabase > Privileges and change User to "Any" and Host to "%"? I don't want to do it if it's going to show up on every single database. Thanks. ____________________________________________________________________________________ The fish are biting.
