Thanks for the idea -- still stuck though Tried connecting to mysql using the -h option, but I still had the same response. (with the -p option as well thanks Borus). Let me check - "Your_Server_Name" I think in my case is localhost
I had a look (using the phpMyAdmin tool) at the records in the user table. There are four records - two of which are localhost - one which is root, with password (all privileges), and the second no user & no password - no privileges. The other two records are similar, but my server's domain name appears in these two records. I could not see any % mark in the user table - however I did find the % mark in the mysql.host table - two records - one for localhost and the other my domain name, and the % mark was in the db column.
