good day all!
i'm getting really confused with how to properly allow users to access mysql from other machines. (on debian woody, using all stable packages) that is, i tried this as mysql root user: GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON my_sql_db.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; after this, i can access mysql as 'dbuser' from the localhost. the mysql servers ip add by the way is 192.168.1.1, and since i also want that user to be able to access from 192.168.1.2, i also did this command: GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON my_sql_db.* TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; that should have been it but whenever i try to access mysql from 192.168.1.2, i keep getting an "Can't connect to MySQL server" error. im pretty sure i did this right, but it just wont work. did i do anything wrong? what could i possible have overlooked? i even tried installing phpmyadmin and using it to add users, even going as far as adding users with host '%' but i just can't connect to mysql from another machine. anybody have any idea what could be going on here? thanks! shannon __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
