Hi,

Is it saying access denied as blah@my machine or is it not connecting at all?

If its saying access denied its usually because you've not added a wildcard host user.

If you log into mysql (as root) you can try the following:

USE mysql;

SELECT Host, User FROM user;

You should see something like:

+-------------+------------------+
| Host        | User             |
+-------------+------------------+
| localhost   | root             |
| myhostname  | root             |
| 127.0.0.1   | root             |
| ::1         | root             |
| localhost   | debian-sys-maint |
| %           | rduser           |
+-------------+------------------+

Some times you can accidentally get rid of the localhost entries which would give you the access denied problems. You'll need to add these entries back (usually % means any host including local so its all weird if thats the problem).

Theres a page on the mysql site about adding users if you need to readd anything:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/adding-users.html

Feel free to reply back on/off list if you need to, I figure theres no point overloading with info until you know what the problem is.

Setup my new system for remote access, but now have no local access to mysql....What did I miss? I have this working on my other system, but it's been three years since I set it up......

Basically followed instructions here:

But using webmin istead of mysql-admin.
