MYSQL :: Remote Login

Allowing Remote Login
I have been using MySQL for awhile, and for the first time someone from
outside our portable /16 needs access to some tables. We have given them
the server IP address, the dB name, the port 3306, the root username, and
the password, but they still can't get access. Of course, no firewalls or
other things in the way.

Is it true that MySQL defaults to local access only, and to enable remote
access you must do something unusual with grants? If so, how would I do
this? (warning, we use the win version, but this question is not a
windows-only thing so it is topical for this list:-)

Remote MySQL Login With Os X
I need to access my MySQL server running on an os x (panther) machine remotely from another machine running os x. Ive enabled SSH in system preferences but i dont really know where to go from there. ive been tralling the web for a good while now and i cant really find any info to help me. I'd like to use a gui client to login like CocoaMySQL.

Disable Remote Root Login
I would like to keep root non password protected locally. And disable root login via phpmyadmin and other remote mamagement tools. For remote login I would have seperate users set up.

Machine Name & IP Address Fails For Remote Admin Login
I've just set up 5.0 on both a desktop server and a laptop with an essentially default install using WinXP (brand new, naive user here!).

I find that when I use the Administrator Tool that I can only log into ServerHost: "localhost" using Username: "root" and the password I made. This is made worse as I can only hit the desktop from the laptop using Remote Desktop connection.

What I can't do is either use the WinXP machine name, or the IP address for the Serverhost. This becomes an issue for the laptop especially as the IP address can change (although this is accessed through a VPN, so the WinXP machine name might be used).

I am quite confused by the documentation regarding servernames, bindings, hostnames, etc.

MySQL Remote Backups - No Access To FTP Or Remote Command Line
I have a mySQL database located on a remote host's server. I would
like to schedule a task on my local Windows computer to retrieve a
backup/dump of this remote database.

I have contacted my host, and they indicated that the server is only
open to the Internet via mySQL. Therefore, even if I did have access
to that server's command line (which I don't) to create dumps via
mysqldump, I would not be able to retrieve via FTP.

Does anybody have any ideas as to how I can generate backup files from
my local computer through a local command-line interface? I have done
it through a GUI (DBTools), but I would like to have it done via DOS
batch, so that I can schedule it. Does anyone know of any mysql backup
GUIs with command line switches? Or can somebody recommend an
alternate means of getting a local backup?

Login
I'm having a problem and I guess it's something wrong with my MySql database. I have a website where users need to register in order to login.
Everything was working fine, but recently my webhost had some upgrade and my folder changed from "home2" to "home", but I'm not sure that this is the problem.
Now, the new accounts are not created. The register form works fine, and appearently the account is created, but if I click to My Profile the data I completed is not there. Only the password appears but it's not the password I completed in the register form, it's the password from my Database.I also uploaded the website to a different webhost, but when I try to access the homepage, it shows like I'm already logged in, although I didn't and at the profile page, again, only a password... the database password.

Login Box
I have a script that uses MySQL and for some reason the first time it loads per session I get the prompt box to login to MySQL? It seems to be a session based but is just weird any ideas what is causing this?

CANNOT LOGIN
The database is accessible just fine through PHP and works great. When typing "mysql" inside a putty console I get:
"-bash: mysql: command not found"

I used to type "mysql -u user -p -h localhost" to log in just fine. Now mysql is not found?

Can't Login To Database....
I've been having a bit of toruble with mysql. I am creating a new user w/ a passwords, granting privileges, and then attempting to login:

Can't Login To MySQL
I am preparing a new server (FreeBSD, MySQL 4.1.1) and I can't connect to the server. I was able to connect for a little while, and I set the root passwords and removed the guest accounts. Things were going fine until I shutdown mysql and restarted it a bit later (can't remember what exactly I did in the meantime). Code:

Password Login
i have a simple java code for a password login but it only allows one user name and password, do i need mysql to have more users and i also want a registration page.

ODBC: Login
This is kind off topic how to connect to ODBC.

<?php
$server = "real_dsn_server:3180";
$user = "root";
$password = "admin4";
$dbnameID="info";?>

<?php
$conn=odbc_connect($server, $user, $password);
$sql="SELECT * FROM $dbnameID";
$result=odbc_exec($conn,$sql);
echo "SUCCESS";?>

I got the following error:
Warning: odbc_connect() [function.odbc-connect]: SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified, SQL state IM002 in SQLConnect in odbc_log.php on line 10

Warning: odbc_exec(): supplied argument is not a valid ODBC-Link resource in odbc_log.php on line 12
SUCCESS

Why is that? Even though I can DSN in control Panel>ODBC on windows XP Pro and it said successfully.

Login Mysql 4.1.8
I have Mysql 4.1.8 installed in my computer and when i try to login it give me a message like the text below:

===============================================================
C:PROGRA~1MySQLMYSQLS~1.1in>mysql -h locahost -u root
ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host 'locahost' (11004)

C:PROGRA~1MySQLMYSQLS~1.1in>mysql -h 127.0.0.1 t -u root
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
================================================================

Login To MySQL
I've got PHP and MySQL installed, tests run good. But when I want to give a command the following error is printed:

Warning:
mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user: 'mayadhiisa@localhost' (Using password: YES) in D:My DocumentsMy Virtual Websmysql_send.php on line 18
Database Selected:
Query: create database baandd
Results
Error 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'baandd'

Whatever I do, "I got access denied for user", Where can my settings or query be wrong?

Simple Login
this is so easy but i can't seem to ascertain what is wrong. i'm making a 'random quote' database. this is my php (ver 4.3.11);

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'calvin');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect to server : ' . mysql_error());
}

$db_selected = mysql_select_db('quotes', $link);
if (!$db_selected) {
die ('Could not connect to database : ' . mysql_error());
}
?>

why do i get the following er msg?

Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in C:ArtizanrookhavenBHconnection.php on line 2 

Could not connect to server : Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

Login Error
I am trying to login to mysql using the following:

C:mysqlin>mysql -h localhost -u root -p
Enter Password: *********

But I keep getting this error:
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@127.0.0.1' (Using password: YES)

What is going wrong? I have set the password correctly.

Cannot Login At Mysql5
I just installed mysql5
I am able to connect to it using telnet and mysqladmin

But when I try to login the username or password is not correct.

I installed it with the installer and set a new password there.
I thought I would have set the password for the root user but that is not working.

Can someone tell me what user and password I should use when i login the first time ?

MySQL Login
Does anyone know why I CAN login to mysql from a shell but can NOT from a PHP app using the same user/pass?

Login Problem
New error message when I try to login:

MySQL Error Nr. 1130

Server side? I edited my.cnf commenting the line "bind_address=127.0.0.1" now I get this error.

Administrator Login
I am really new and I am having a problem logging into the Admin Tool. What is the username and password ? This is my first time trying to login.

Eventum Login
I've just installed eventum-1.6.1 on my server (WinNT4.0). All worked fine. Now I'd like to login.

Root Login Only
I have tried to create additional users with GRANT and INSERT INTO (FLUSH PRIVILEGES) but every time I start the mysql client only with the root password can I successfully login.

How do I get it so I have to enter a specific user name then be prompted for password?

Login Fail

Cannot Login To Mysql
How does root login to mysql?wanted to create a user called mysql with password=mysql for my webapps..how do i do that?

Phpmyadmin Login
I have just installed phpmyadmin on my server however when I try to load it im getting a username and password screen. When I installed phpmyadmin or mysql I didnt add any usernames or passwords as its just a testing server hosted localy. Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can fix it?

Login As Root
Im using a WAMP setup of winXP pro, apache 1.3.31, mySql 4.1.21community-nt, PHP 5.1.6 and phpMyadmin 2.9.0.2
during the install of mysql i set a root password and after setup i created a new user using a 'grant all' statement in the client console.
what i want to do is completely remove the root account and use the new superuser account i created. But - i cannot login with the new account; only as root with the root password
Any suggestions how i can stop mySql from forcing me to use the root account.

Login Prompt
I have a script that uses MySQL and for some reason the first time it loads per session I get the prompt box to login to MySQL? It seems to be session based but is just weird

Login Question
I've read around and am still have problems. I'm tring to login to my mysql database with

mysql -u username -p password database < backup

I need to restore my database.

It asks me for a pasword and then I get a printout of help commands.

I try using just mysql -u username -p password but I get errot
ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database

Password Cannot Login
I had problems in one of my user's account, I used phpMyAdmin to edit this user and changed his password. Whatever I change his password, he just cannot login, even very simple password such as "1" can't do the work...
When I remove the password, he can login normally.
I have checked the password field on the mysql table which is long enough to hold the full encrypted password, although I noticed an asterisk * was put at the beginning of the encrypted password, which was not found on other accounts
I had a similar problem before and then I noticed my "username" and "password" field is too short to hold the whole username information, I fixed it by increasing the field length. I don't know why that happens... Migration from non-unicode to unicode database perhaps? Or being hacked in?

Login Problem
Any mysql command I use from the prompt throws the below message.

/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)'

Passwordless Login
I want to be able to log in to a MySQL database without a password, but using some token similar to using ssh keys for ssh logins.

Login Error
i keep on gettin this error
See i am not sure if i have to fill in the ( -h -u -p )

Its a MySQL Error
This what i done
Type: mysql -h -u -p ... and pressed ENTER
Enter password: i put PASSWORD .... and Pressed ENTER
and this Error pop up ?

ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host '-u' (11001)

Login Prompt
I am having a hard time tracking to when it started. But basically in IE when I attempt to load a script for what it seems like the first time per session I get a login prompt open like what i see when I login in to MySQL, this script uses MySQL heavily.

Login Function
I’m creating a login function for my customers and administers. But I have some problems modelling the tables. I think I wont something like this

Table usergruop
Usergroupid
usertyp

Tabel useraccount
Useraccountid
fk_usergroup
accountname
accountpassword

The question is how am I suppose to do whit the fk_keys? I need to have something like fk_costumer , fk_admin , fk_reseller because I have to have some connection between usergruop/useraccount and the tables where the costumer, resellers and admin are stored.

No Longer Login
I've been working with a mysql installation on my laptop using apache for about 2 months.
All of a sudden, I an unable to login at the root level. Specifically, I get the following message:

"Could not connect to the specified instance"

MySQL error 2003
can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' [10061]

When I ping the connection, the ping is successfull. I am unable to login from the mysql command line client or MySQL Administrator

Login Page Creation
i am trying to create a login page on my site with user name and password i mainly work in dreamweiver on a mac platform.

how can i use the mysql database to store the information and link dreamweiver to get the info i have no idea how mysql works so you have to be patient with me and guide me step by step.

Creating A User Login
I am designing a website, which is almost complete, but would like to allow users to create an account, and login and out.

Is there an easy way to set this up? I have experience using MySQL but only through forum software such as phpbb and portals like phpnuke. These obviously set this up for you.

Capture The AD Login On Intranet
I have an online test and too often, the students fail to fill in their names. I can't set up a database for user id's because it would be a nightmare to maintain, so I'd like to know if I can write a script to grab the Windows AD login and then include it in the test submission. The test is php with an external script for the insert record. I saw some references to vbscript, but I dropped in the code I found to no avail.

Forgotten Root Login.
I need help resetting my root login. I've lost my password. I've uninstalled MySQL and reinstalled it hoping that it would work and no luck. How do I go about doing this? I'm operating on OSX.

PhpMyAdmin Login Difficulties
I have managed to set up PHP, MYSQL and APACHE on my machine. I have uploaded phpMyAdmin to my server but now I can't log in. Access Denied. #1045 - Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)

Client Login System
I am working on making a client login system. I would like client's to be able to login on my site and just basically see their individual invoices, pay with Paypal, see site progress, that kind of thing. I have some ideas as how to do it, but I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions?

How To Set Up Mysql For A Login Database?
On my website i need a login menu which will being using php and mysql. The only bad part is that i dont know how to set mysql up for this. Maybe you guys could help me with this or give me a link to a website that could help me with this.

Login: Protocol, Firewall?
MySQL 5.0.33 + RedHat AS 4.0

At the local system, I have two mysql users: User@localhost; User@'%'.
I tried the below three login approaches at local:

A. mysql -uUser -pPasswd
B. mysql -uUser -pPasswd -h127.0.0.1
C. mysql -uUser -pPasswd -hHost // Host is the IP of the system

I have three questions:
1. A is via mysql.scok, why B isn't? B is via TCP.
2. Why the login by B is faster than C? But in my tests, both of B and C were via TCP.
3. I launched iptables, and rejected 3306 port, why B and C still could login normally?

Client Area And Login
I would like to store pictures in mysql and have differnt customer accessing them through password. Is there some ready made solutions or tools that make the code that I can buy, without doing to much work myself.

Login Mysql W/out Password
by entering a random string as the Username on the entry page on phpMyAdmin without password, the person will have access to the database, with privilege to edit database but not creating.

if someone enters a recognized Username (ie: root), phpMyAdmin will promp for the actual password.

the user table in mysql have 2 sets of users (root and another) on 4 rows, both with password set to localhost and % rows. that's all the info I can supply, and my question, obviously, is how to stop random string Usernames from entering the database..?

Login / Password Encryption
i am trying to create a very simple login system. all it does it input user data including a password and then when logging it it compares user name and password entered to find the user id (if exists) and then says you are logged in if a result was found. my problem is no results are ever found.

i have found that no matter what i do the password() function never returns the same value when im trying to select a user id with password=password('$inputedpassword') in the query to look up the user id.

so basically when i register the password is turned into a mess with password(), but wheni log in and use the same password() on it, it gives me something different.

BUT if i register under another user name and then use the same password, password() will give me the same mess (i checked this in the databse).

so i dont know why password() wont do the same thing when im using it in the query in login.php so that i can compare the passwords correctly. the only way i've been able to get this to login is to not encrypt anything. i have tried using md5 but that is giving me this same problem too. Code:

Root Login Problems
I'm not able to login to mysql via root... strange things are happening.

I type in mysql -u root and I get
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)

So, follownig the tutorials on the mySQL website, I kill the process with
kill `cat /var/lib/mysql/linux.pid`

which stops the process just fine.

Then I start it back up like so:
mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

And it starts up okay, the pid appears again in the subdir.

Then I can log in okay via
mysql -u root

However, then I try to reset the password via:
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('pwordhere') WHERE User = 'root';

okay fine that takes okay. I do a query with select, seems fine, do an exit to get back to my prompt.

type in mysql -u root...
and viola, same error appears,
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)

Remote Login

When logging into mysql, mysql appends '@hostname' to whatever the username you provide is. Example: > mysql -h hostname -u dsb 'dsb' becomes 'dsb@hostname.com' Does anyone know how to turn that off so that the exact username specified is used.
