It does not grant the priveleges!

I tried to login into mysql and do the command by hand: mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON SER.* TO ser IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

0 rows affected !!!!

select * users shows the records with ser as user but with all flags set to N

If I try to use phpMyAdmin I do not even see the records for ser. I use the right server!

Where is my thinking error?

This is all incorrect. Priviledges from within MySQL are instantaneous. The problem is your formating:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ser.* to 'ser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'

I tried that too, but the table mysql.user does not change The priveliges are still all set to 'N' And something what I cannot explain at all, this record in the table does NOT show up in phpMyAdmin !!!!

localhost can be just that, or a IP or a hostname as long as it has forward and reverse DNS or is in the hosts file.

I stand corrected. You are right, when using GRANT the changes are noticed by the server..... 5.7.7. When Privilege Changes Take Effect When mysqld starts, all grant table contents are read into memory and become effective for access control at that point. When the server reloads the grant tables, privileges for existing client connections are affected as follows: Table and column privilege changes take effect with the client's next request. Database privilege changes take effect at the next USE db_name statement. Changes to global privileges and passwords take effect the next time the client connects. If you modify the grant tables using GRANT, REVOKE, or SET PASSWORD, the server notices these changes and reloads the grant tables into memory again immediately. If you modify the grant tables directly using statements such as INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE, your changes have no effect on privilege checking until you either restart the server or tell it to reload the tables. To reload the grant tables manually, issue a FLUSH PRIVILEGES statement or execute a mysqladmin flush-privileges or mysqladmin reload command. If you change the grant tables directly but forget to reload them, your changes have no effect until you restart the server. This may leave you wondering why your changes don't seem to make any difference Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.11.4-21.9-default x86_64 SuSE Linux 9.3 (x86-64)
