I have created a user "webuser" with the following line. mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to webuser@Sarreid2 identified by 'xxxxxx'; mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to webuser@localhost identified by 'xxxxxx'; I would think that this should have unlimited access to the database from the website.? I can connect to mysql from the command line using the user webuser. I received no errors when I created the user and verified that the user exist in the user database. When I try to connect to the database I get the following error: Warning: Access denied for user: 'webuser@www.Sarreid2.com' (Using password: YES) in /var/www/html/count/get_conf.inc.php on line 4 Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: 'webuser@www.Sarreid2.com' (Using password: YES) in /var/www/html/count/get_conf.inc.php on line 4 Any suggestions ? I am using php 4.2.2 apache 2.0 and mysql 3.23.52 on Redhat 8 The script is trying to connect to the database and create a table. TIA Larry Sandwick Sarreid, Ltd.
