Why are you getting this message, "Access denied for user '@localhost' for database test2"? If you are logged on as 'emil' and you attempt to connect, if you are denied access you should receive a message like this; "Access denied for user 'emil@localhost' for database test2"
It would appear that you are not passing a user name to MySQL when you are trying to connect. If I were you, I would delete all users with either a null/blank user name or null/blank password from my "user" table. Then, I would flush priveleges. Then, I would try to connect as the user 'emil' (-u emil). These documents (links shown below) provide an OUTSTANDING explanation of users and privileges for MySQL. http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/o/Connection_access.html http://www.mysql.com/doc/R/e/Request_access.html http://www.mysql.com/doc/A/c/Access_denied.html I also highly recommend the book "MySQL" by Paul DuBois. It has been indispensable for me. Respectfully, Charles Q.
