Hello, I finally figured that root access is disabled as a default. (I believe it wasn't the case in previous version, but not sure.)
A user need to create a different user that he will be used to access mysql from outside. section of /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.0/README.Debian.gz should include this sentence. * Networking ..................................... Root access is disabled from any address except for 127.0.0.1. User should create a different user to log in from outside of 127.0.0.1 or enable root user to login from @. If you could update the readme.debian that would be great. It took me almost 3 hours to figure out how to log in to mysql from outside. If this information is in readme.debian next user will be up and running in 1 minute. Thanks a lot, Lucas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
