I've been reading up on this most of the day and still can't get it! I need to use PHP to make connections to MySQL. When I use my actual host name to make the connection I get this:
Warning: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) in /var/www/html/php/db_mysql.inc on line 73 Database error: pconnect(foo.bar.ucla.edu, mysql, $Password) failed. MySQL Error: () Session halted. and, yes, i've checked the password and that's not the problem. I can log in thru the command line ok as root w/ password. If I change the connection details to try to connect thru 'localhost' i get the "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket ... etc" error. The documentation suggests that I add an entry into the user table that contains the IP address as the HOST column value. How do I do this exactly? After reading so much today on this i'm confused as to something that is probably so simple as adding a user. any suggestions appreciated. brent. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
