There seems to be some fundamental change in the permissions in mysql as shipped with 9.2 compared with 9.0 which has completely floored me. A bugzilla set up that works fine talking to a mysql db on 9.0 comes up with the following error when the db is on a 9.2 system:- DBI connect(';localhost;3306','test2',...) failed: Access denied for user: 'test2@localhost' (Using password: YES) at ./checksetup.pl line 1460 As far as I can tell permissions on both the 9.0 and 9.2 db's are identical, *and* I have no trouble at all connecting to the 9.2 db using Rekall and the same username/login as bugzilla is trying to use. And for the moment the firewall is off, (but then Rekall wouldn't work anyway). Anyone any idea at all where to carry on looking for this one, as I've run out of ideas!! -- Tim Nicholson http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
