Iklekid Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 did you set up a password? try entering no password at all and see if that solves your problem Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/220-access-denied-for-user-rootlocalhost/#findComment-656 Share on other sites More sharing options...

phpfreak Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 You need to ensure that you either reload or restart MySQL after adding users, changing database permissions or passwords. Reload MySQL and give it another shot Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/220-access-denied-for-user-rootlocalhost/#findComment-691 Share on other sites More sharing options...
