I thought that OLD_PASSWORDS were history in these "5" days.see phpinfo attachementThanks,ww[attachment deleted by admin] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/13571-access-denied-nightmare-suse-101/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I'm not familar with that syntax... but you're right, OLD_PASSWORD() is a thing of the past... besides, that used to throw an authentication-type error.

windyweather Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 ok. Thanks for confirming that OLD_PASSWORDs are history.This seems fairly straightforward. Nothing fancy. Just Apache2, mysql5 and php5...Is there a FAQ somewhere of bonehead things to check?I've checked everything that I know of from my previous experience on WinXP with A2,M4,P4 that worked fine.Thanks,ww Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/13571-access-denied-nightmare-suse-101/#findComment-52582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
windyweather Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 And the answer is that you have to add @localhost to the list of hosts explicitly @%, which is a wildcard and you would think would include localhost, apparently does not.[list][*]So, under the username in MyAdmin / Users panel, select the user you want to change, right click and choose [b]Add Host.[/b][*]Then choose [b]Localhost[/b][*]then be sure and update the privs to include all the privs for the desired database's.[/list]hummm.....Yep, you would think that WILDCARD meant WILDCARD including LOCALHOST but it apparently does not.sigh.ww Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/13571-access-denied-nightmare-suse-101/#findComment-52642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
