mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to user@localhost identified by 'password' with grant option; try this out balwant -----Original Message----- From: AceZero2790@xxxxxxx [mailto:AceZero2790@xxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2004 12:13 AM To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: MySQL denying access to everything...Part 2 Ok, thanks to many people's help, I have managed to install MySQL right and login as root with no password. However, MySQL will not allow to log in to my databases as root. Is this normal, because when I try it brings back the old access denies: root@localhost thing. So I thought maybe I just have to figure out how to create accounts, and then configure them to be all access. I have read the manual on creating accounts, but for some reason it doesn't work. Here is how it goes: I access mysql.exe and put in this: mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'@'localhost' Then I hit enter. It starts me off with an indented down arrow and I finish the GRANT command. -> IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION; Then I hit enter. IT gives me another down arrow. I hit enter again and again and again and all it does is give me more indented down arrows...
