Update not happening !
I have a script that is running on computer A which is trying to update the database on computer B. The script tries to connect to computer B and fails with the following error. [EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql]$ ./data_loader.pl DBI connect('webmaster,blackhole','webmaster',...) failed: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) at ./data_loader.pl line 8 In the script where the server B "blackhole" the ip address is in the hosts file and I have even tried to change the script and put in the IP address in place of the string "blackhole" with no luck. I do not understand why it keeps trying to access [EMAIL PROTECTED] I guess my question is how do I make the script access server A from B? Here is the script <snip> #! /usr/bin/perl use DBI; use DBD::mysql; $dsn = "DBI:mysql:webmaster,blackhole"; $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn,"username","password",{RaiseError=>1}); $sth = $dbh->prepare ( q{ LOAD data INFILE 'ITEMDATA.TXT' REPLACE INTO TABLE item FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' }); $sth->execute(); $sth->finish(); $dbh->disconnect(); <end snip> Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!
