MYSQL Permissions a big mystery!

using phpmyadmin - Access denied

[HeadBut]

Just read : [devarticles.com...]
and I still get:
Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Access denied for user: '[e-mail]' (Using password: YES) in /Library/WebServer/Documents/XXXXXhomepage.com/_includesphp/webuser.php on line 7
Access denied for user: '[e-mail]' (Using password: YES)
(The "X's" replace the real domain for security)
I refreshed the table when I was done. Is there something I should restart on the other machine?
Why is this not really really simple?

thanks!

hi headbut,

i would have thought this was caused by your webuser not having the correct permissions for that host in the privileges table.

have you set up the user correctly for mail.XXXXX.com and not just localhost?

e.g. set password for [e-mail]=password('whatever');

>> Why is this not really really simple?

lol - it never is until you know how to do it. plus there are so many things which can go wrong, that a tutorial can never cover all bases. you also learn so much by troubleshooting your own apps.

good luck
