>Description: Installation has never worked properly - I have re-installed 5 or 6 times, different versions. Initially Mandrake 7.0 version, then tried to install a 386 rpm - wouldn't install, said it was for the wrong architecture, so tried the i686 binaries (initially 3.23.33-pc-linux-gnu-i686, then 3.23.49a-pc-linux-gnu-i686); same problem, so re-installed the Mandrake version (currently on this one - 3.22.32). MySQL server seems to be working correctly - I can insert rows, grant privileges using Webmin. Using the Client however (mysql -h localhost -p -u root), I am able to create tables, SELECT * FROM user etc, but cannot do the following commands:
SELECT * FROM user WHERE User = 'root'; --> ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'root' at line 1 GRANT ALL ON webdb.* TO webdev@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'webdevpass'; --> ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax bear 'webdevpass' at line 1 If I use this last command without the IDENTIFIED BY statement, a row gets added but it doesn't get any privileges. >How-To-Repeat: as above >Fix: not known I've searched manual and two books. Please help!!
