Hi Dan,
When you define your MySQL-database under LO-Base, specify the
hostname (or the
IP-address) of the server as well as the port (usually 3306) instead
of localhost.
I am actually using a MySQL-server over the internet. It works o.k
Regards H
More information: My laptop is 192.168.2.101 and the MySQL server
is on 192.168.2.100. The database I want to access is Budget.
I entered Budget as the database name, Server as 192.168.2.100,
port is 3306. I then test the connection, enter the user name and
password. The error message I get is Host '192.168.2.101' is not
allowed to connect to this MySQL server.
I am using the MySQL JDBC driver, and when I click the Test
Class button, I get the message The JDBC Driver was loaded
successfully.
Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?
--Dan
Sounds like the server is not configured to allow you access. Since the
IP addresses for the server and your computer are on the same LAN, I can
assume the MySQL server is on another computer on the same LAN. You
don't say if you did this in mysql:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO username@hostname IDENTIFIED BY
`password` WITH GRANT OPTION;
Note that the hostname should be the IP address of your laptop, or
192.168.2.101 . Note that the IP address may need around it due to
the periods and numbers.
If not, the server will not allow you access. The laptop is not
registered as a trusted computer. You must have done this for your
other computer, but you need to do it for all computers you need access
for. Or, if you are brave, you can use % for any host:
username@%. Or, better yet, you can limit access to your LAN:
username@192.168.2.%
For further information, this can be found in the MySQL reference manual
under Access Control, Stage 1: Connection Verification.
Hope this helps.
Girvin Herr
Hello again,
The IP-address has to be that of the SERVER, and - of course as Girvin says -
access has to be granted to you on the server as mentioned. By the way -
I tend to use single apostrophies (') instead of , if necessary on the
GRANT statements.
Regards and good luck

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MySQL-Connector
Thanks, Alex, for your very informative message! As I mentioned before, I have set up my DB-connection to use ODBC in the meantime. Time will show whether this will be good alternative. At the moment it seems to be o.k. By the way - in spite of my remarks regarding Java/LO I have also downloaded and set up the JDBC-connector under LO 4, just to see whether it still is buggy... Regarding MariaDB: I have been kind of interested in whether it would stay around after the original euphoria. This seems to be the case, looking at statistics I saw a short while ago. I am quite prepared to migrate to it when I can spare a couple of hours, since I do have my reservations regarding proprietarily controlled software. Just as an asid - I come from lots of years with IBM and have seen what M$, Oracle and others have contributed to IT. I did get to know Ed Codd and Chris Date (inventors of SQL), got DB2 going at a large customer here as a kind of first within the German language area for an application system based on a couple of millions of records. Database has been a passion for me for a long time. After all, it is one of the essential pillars of any serious DP-system. Regards H. S.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Calc scale formula conundrum/ logic confusion
Hi Tom, On 14/02/13 16:41, Tom wrote: Hi :) Yes, of course you can ask different questions. I just thought it was exactly the same question again in which case my answer wouldn't have been so wrong. Thanks , I was hoping so. snip I wonder if there is a really good Maths forum for getting help with this sort of thing. It's a bit sideways from our normal ways of thinking so we might not be much good at it. A Maths forum like that might even be good place for students or kids to get unusual but real-life questions to figure out. A chance for teachers to escape irrelevant ancient dusty text-books and get real. Whilst I agree a good Maths/Calc forum wouldn't be a bad idea, I think considering the software in use on LibreOffice Calc, then the users should mostly be able to find a resolution to their problem regarding formula syntax and entry. This problem is complex but hopefully once solved will help others with scale calculations. Given the subscribers to the list are the folk who would be most likely to use the formula, its correct usage and syntax is imperative or perhaps it might indicate a problem with a formula in Calc's repertoire. Of course an obvious answer is to avoid using a spreadsheet for this initially and just use the back of an envelope or scrap of paper from elsewhere. When the question states the amount of unit i have left that suggests an upper limit that can't be exceeded such that Total amount of units allowed = Used + amount left So i think i need to know which of these 2 following statements are true and which isn't (or am i completely off-track?) G2= Total amount allowed, the limit or G2 = amount left In the question it seems to be being used in both ways at different times. Well, to me anyway. Scraps of paper are sometimes a handy quickie solution but if the results need graphing over a few readings, a spreadsheet really is better as I am sure you'll agree :) , mind you that said a database would be the best, but that gets REALLY complicated. :) G2 in this example is the total electricity unit reading taken at the end of the month that indicated how many units are left or available. What I am aiming to work out is the currency value of those units(H2) using the same scale that is used to purchase the units. Using my Purchase scale and changing the purchase value in c22 for e.g., I can see that I would need to layout ZAR574.61 to be allocated 150 units on the first scale and 282.99 on the second scale totalling R574.60,5 - vat= R504.05 to give me the value of 433 units. The question is to work out the value obtained in c22 auto-magically for H2, without using C22 to give the ZAR value of G2 or 432.9 units. The formula in H2 incorporates the first two scales i.e. `=IF(G2=$G$18,$H$18,G2*$F$18)+IF(G2-$G$18=$J$18,$K$18,(G2-$G$18)*$I$18)' Provided G2 is 433 the correct answer for H2 of R504.05 is received. HOWEVER using the same formula, if you make G2 =1. The answer in H2 should be R1.13 yet shows an answer of R -174.85? As the above formula only incorporates 2 of the 3 scales, the full formula is `=IF(G2=$G$18,$H$18,(G2*$F$18))+IF(G2-$G$18)=$J$18,$K$18,(G2-$G$18)*$I$18)+IF(G2-$G$18-$J$18)=$M$18,$N$18+(G2-$G$18-$J$18-$M$18)*$L$19,(G2-$G$18-$J$18-$M$18)*$L$19)' yet for some reason I am getting a 508 error yet I have checked the number of brackets and all is OK? zr1hpc wrote Using Calc 3.4.5 on openSuse 11.2 I am trying to work out the currency value of the amount of electricity units I have left at the end of the month (G2). This same formula will be used for the other 11 months of the year with only the G2 reference changing to G3, G4...etc. For those who wish to stretch their grey matter as mine just ain't stretching any more. The pricing scale the energy supplier has given me is: Unit Range Value per unit 0-150 1.1320 150.01 - 6001.1811 600.01 -1.4018 Therefore the first 150 units are priced at 1.132 ea. any units still available need to be calculated at the next rate of 1.1811, but only up to 449.90 units at the second rate. Anything more than that must be at the highest rate of 1.4018. Assuming my unit balance of G2 = 433 I can work out the currency value of G2 by following the following logic, and using the scale above: 433 150 therefore the initial 150 units need to be priced at 1.1320 i.e. 150* 1.132= ZAR169.80. To this the balance of the units over 150 need to be multiplied by the next rate of 1.1811 i.e. 433-150= 283. Since 283 is below the max of 449.9 units allowed for this scale, therefore 283*1.1811= ZAR334.25. The third scale is not needed as all the units have been accounted for, however it must be available should G2 exceed 600 units e.g. taking 601 units; the first 150 would be costed at 1.132, the next 449.9 costed at 1.1811 and the balance of 1.1 units costed at 1.4018 per unit. Therefore total value of 433 units is: 150*1.1320 = 169.80 + 283*1.1811 =

[libreoffice-users] Reptile Skin design for a 4.0.0 Persona / 33+ designs for LO 4.0.0 Persona/Themes
I really like how my LibreOffice Reptile Skin 1 Persona design works out on LibreOffice 4.0.0. http://libreoffice-na.us/libreoffice-reptile-skin-1--lo40-clip.jpg Here are the current Firefox Persona/Themes with the key word of LibreOffice. https://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/All/search?p=libreofficesearch.x=0search.y=0 I like patterns and other things. So I am working on those right now. If I had some good graphics and photos that might work well as design for LO themes, I might do them as well. I could use some constructive comments though. We all could. Designing a Persona/Theme for Firefox is one thing, but making one that was created for LiberOffice is a different thing. Do we want it to have LibreOffice show as a text image there or just some nice graphics or images? I would be nice to know what our users like for color schemes or background ideas. There are Green, Blue, Orange, Purple, and Yellow colors specified in the Branding Wiki. I am working on green ideas, since I choose a green themed desktop. But if there are others who would prefer Blues or other branded colors, I could work on them. Since LibreOffice does not have any Mascot, but there were ideas on that a while back, I may try my had at that type of image. But it really is up to the users of LO 4.0 to decide what they would like. Actually having you Firefox browser have an LO themed background image for its menu system, would be a form of advertising, it may not be for every one. Let all of us, who want to create these Persona/Themes for LibreOffice [and Firefox], know what you would like to see from use as themes and artwork. -- By the way, it would be easier for people to design these themes, if there was a way to test them like you can do on the Firefox browser. Just a thought. Right now we have to design them and submit them to Firefox for approval. It the new design it too close to one of your other designs or someones else's, it will be rejected. My green rough paper with the LO text was approved, but to just have that background and not text was not since it was too much like the text version. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

I am not an expert, but it has been my experience that if skip-networking is enabled, then localhost will not work either. As you say, there are two ways to access the server: the network or the Unix socket. The MySQL programs generally use the socket.

When users complain about not being able to connect to MySQL, I suggest commenting out the skip-networking directive and when they do, they are able to connect. That implies that localhost is controlled by skip-networking. localhost may indeed be something special, but I think in this respect, it isn't. If you do an ifconfig while root (Linux), you will see that the lo (loopback) interface, which is 127.0.0.1, is listed along with the hardware LAN Ethernet interface(s).

Under *nix, the name localhost is defined as 127.0.0.1 (the lo interface) in the /etc/hosts file. Therefor, when localhost is requested, it gets translated to 127.0.0.1 by the computer, not passed on to MySQL as a special case. MySQL should have nothing to do with this translation, so it would never see the name localhost. That said, it seems that the connector driver could make that translation for MySQL. I don't know the interior details of the connector, but It could get the localhost name from Base and then process it. It could make a special case of localhost and vector subsequent requests to the socket. However, as I said, that has not been my experience. Just my 2-cents.

I just thought it was exactly the same question again in which case my answer wouldn't have been so wrong. Thanks , I was hoping so. snip I wonder if there is a really good Maths forum for getting help with this sort of thing. It's a bit sideways from our normal ways of thinking so we might not be much good at it. A Maths forum like that might even be good place for students or kids to get unusual but real-life questions to figure out. A chance for teachers to escape irrelevant ancient dusty text-books and get real. Whilst I agree a good Maths/Calc forum wouldn't be a bad idea, I think considering the software in use on LibreOffice Calc, then the users should mostly be able to find a resolution to their problem regarding formula syntax and entry. This problem is complex but hopefully once solved will help others with scale calculations. Given the subscribers to the list are the folk who would be most likely to use the formula, its correct usage and syntax is imperative or perhaps it might indicate a problem with a formula in Calc's repertoire. Of course an obvious answer is to avoid using a spreadsheet for this initially and just use the back of an envelope or scrap of paper from elsewhere. When the question states the amount of unit i have left that suggests an upper limit that can't be exceeded such that Total amount of units allowed = Used + amount left So i think i need to know which of these 2 following statements are true and which isn't (or am i completely off-track?) G2= Total amount allowed, the limit or G2 = amount left In the question it seems to be being used in both ways at different times. Well, to me anyway. Scraps of paper are sometimes a handy quickie solution but if the results need graphing over a few readings, a spreadsheet really is better as I am sure you'll agree :) , mind you that said a database would be the best, but that gets REALLY complicated. :) G2 in this example is the total electricity unit reading taken at the end of the month that indicated how many units are left or available. What I am aiming to work out is the currency value of those units(H2) using the same scale that is used to purchase the units. Using my Purchase scale and changing the purchase value in c22 for e.g., I can see that I would need to layout ZAR574.61 to be allocated 150 units on the first scale and 282.99 on the second scale totalling R574.60,5 - vat= R504.05 to give me the value of 433 units. The question is to work out the value obtained in c22 auto-magically for H2, without using C22 to give the ZAR value of G2 or 432.9 units. The formula in H2 incorporates the first two scales i.e. `=IF(G2=$G$18,$H$18,G2*$F$18)+IF(G2-$G$18=$J$18,$K$18,(G2-$G$18)*$I$18)' Provided G2 is 433 the correct answer for H2 of R504.05 is received. HOWEVER using the same formula, if you make G2 =1. The answer in H2 should be R1.13 yet shows an answer of R -174.85? As the above formula only incorporates 2 of the 3 scales, the full formula is `=IF(G2=$G$18,$H$18,(G2*$F$18))+IF(G2-$G$18)=$J$18,$K$18,(G2-$G$18)*$I$18)+IF(G2-$G$18-$J$18)=$M$18,$N$18+(G2-$G$18-$J$18-$M$18)*$L$19,(G2-$G$18-$J$18-$M$18)*$L$19)' yet for some reason I am getting a 508 error yet I have checked the number of brackets and all is OK? zr1hpc wrote Using Calc 3.4.5 on openSuse 11.2 I am trying to work out the currency value of the amount of electricity units I have left at the end of the month (G2). This same formula will be used for the other 11 months of the year with only the G2 reference changing to G3, G4...etc. For those who wish to stretch their grey matter as mine just ain't stretching any more. The pricing scale the energy supplier has given me is: Unit RangeValue per unit 0-1501.1320 150.01 - 6001.1811 600.01 -1.4018 Therefore the first 150 units are priced at 1.132 ea. any units still available need to be calculated at the next rate of 1.1811, but only up to 449.90 units at the second rate. Anything more than that must be at the highest rate of 1.4018. Assuming my unit balance of G2 = 433 I can work out the currency value of G2 by following the following logic, and using the scale above: 433 150 therefore the initial 150 units need to be priced at 1.1320 i.e. 150* 1.132= ZAR169.80. To this the balance of the units over 150 need to be multiplied by the next rate of 1.1811 i.e. 433-150= 283. Since 283 is below the max of 449.9 units allowed for this scale, therefore 283*1.1811= ZAR334.25. The third scale is not needed as all the units have been accounted for, however it must be available should G2 exceed 600 units e.g. taking 601 units; the first 150 would be costed at 1.132, the next 449.9 costed at 1.1811 and the balance of 1.1 units costed at 1.4018 per unit.
