hi... i have a situation with a server that i have. i have mysql installed with php.. the mysql is V4.1.12. i'm trying to see/view a database from the command line and i can't see it when i login to mysql as root. i also can't see it when i try to login to mysql as the given user. from the php app, i see that the app makes a valid connection using: host = 192.168.1.foo dbname = cat user = dog passwd = dog i've tracked the code, it's making the connection, and interfacing with the database/tables... however, when i try to access the db as either root/dog, i can't see the database 'cat' mysql -udog -pdog -h192.168.1.foo mysql -uroot -p neither one of these approaches sems to work, ie, i can't see the 'cat' database in the mysql list of tables... any idea what's going on... when i get into mysql as root, i can see/manipulate all the other databases. thanks for any pointers/thoughts/etc... searching google hasn't led to any solid solutions.. thanks -bruce bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
