Access Denied nightmare - SUSE 10.1

Recommended Posts

SUSE 10.1
PHP Version 5.1.2
MySQL Client API version 5.0.18
Apache/2.2.0 (Linux/SUSE)

I can't get php5 to connect to mysql 5. With or without a password.

[pre]<html><body><h1>Test MySQL Database connection</h1>
<h2>
<?php
// (1)
//$mysql= new mysqli("localhost", "galewpuser", "galewppass", "galewp");
// (2)
$mysql= new mysqli("localhost", "galewpuser", "", "galewp");
printf("Error: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
?>
</h2>
</body></html>[/pre]

results of (1) with the correct password set with MySQL Administrator are
Error: Access denied for user 'galewpuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

results of (2) with password set to "" are
Error: Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'galewp'

all privs are granted between galewpuser and the galewp database
no other privs are granted between galewpuser and any other catalogs.

I had this working on WinXP with php4 and mysql4 and had to use OLD_PASSWORDS to make it work. I thought that OLD_PASSWORDS were history in these "5" days.

see phpinfo attachement

Thanks,
ww

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

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.
