Hi Paul

Got it this time! Now its working.

Commented out the 'sqlsocket'. Then gave host as 'localhost', instead of IP Address.

Changed user to 'root'.

So this means I may not be able to connect from network?

My question is, why doesnt   'user=nataraj'  work when I have given

GRANT ALL ON nataraj.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] identified by 'mypasswd' ;
in Mysql client ?


regards

Nataraj

Your dbmail.conf states:

/var/run/mysql.sock

whereas your my.cnf states:

/var/run/mysql/mysqld.sock

ergo.

Hi Micah

I can manually connect and see the contents of 'dbmail' database using
mysql client.

I can also connect using mysql-admin ,with server as 'localhost'.

I am attaching the my.cnf and debian.cnf .

regards and thanks

Hi Nataraj,

It could be a few things, MySQL not running, bad password, etc, etc, so
please set the dbmail trace level to 5 and post the relevant log
entries.

Thanks,
Richard.
