Unable To Connect To Mysql With Root Permissions
I am trying to connect to a new mysql installation. I have given root permission to connect to all databases from anywhere; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'passwd' WITH GRANT OPTION; I can log on locally by specifying the host name: [me@au101 me]$ mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p test Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or g. Your MySQL connection id is 2 to server version: 5.0.18-standard However, when I try to log in locally without specifying the host name I receive the following error: [me@au101 me]$ mysql -u root -p mysql Enter password: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) If I try to connect remotely as root using MySQLyog I receive a similar error message: Access denied for user root@[my ip

GRANT Privileges :: Root Doesn't Have Permissions
I have installed the MySQL per instructions, and it lets me create any new databases and tables I want, but if I try to create a user via the GRANT command, it tells me 'root' doesn't have permission to 'GRANT'. Well, if 'root' doesn't have that permission, then who does.

Updating Events, Permissions For Root, Access Denied?
I created an event, no problem, and now want to update it. Since I created the event, we've moved the server from the office into a colo; instead of logging in from the local domain I'm now logging in over the VPN. MySQL refuses to let me, logged in as root, change the EVENTS table in the information_schema schema using an ALTER EVENT query.

Root May Only Connect From Localhost; Locked Me Out Of Root
looking at this: http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/securing_mysql_windows.html First thing I did was change my root account username to another one for security. Worked fine, logged out of MySQL administrator and logged back in with new user. Then I did: DELETE FROM user WHERE user = '(mynewrootusername)' AND host = '%'; Which apparently only allows root login from localhost. After doing that command, I can no longer login to mysql administrator. Error 1045, access denied from...etc. When I login to the mysql cmd prompt the window just closes immedietly. My windows host file is correct.

Permissions On Mac
I used MAMP to set up MySQL and Apache on my Mac and installed Drupal. Everything was working fine but I thought that I had forgotten to change the password for the 'root' user in mysql. So,with MAMP when you go to "localhost:8888 it gives you a start page where you can access mysqladmin and others. I used mysqladmin to change the root user properties but now when I try to launch the start page I get "could not connect with mysql server" Any idea how I can get to MySQL another way and fix it without having to reinstall? My Drupal installation still works so I know MySQL is working but I can't get to the admin/start page anymore. Also, I'm a complete newb at this stuff.. I know I can go to a terminal session on my Mac to access mysql directly but I don't know enough about it to do anything.

Default Permissions
This is a fairly simple question but I'm new to mySQL. To log on to mySQL I need to type at the prompt: mysql --user='username' --password='password' as opposed to just typing mysql and being recognized without having to type identification. Anyone know how I can change this?

Database Permissions
I've got databases on one box i have to transfer to another box, both are running Linux one a Centos4 machine, the other rh9 i think. I could tar up the /var/lib/mysql directory, but i was lead to believe that was a bad idea. I don't know the permissions of the user's and i don't want to give out global permissions. What i was wondering is there a way i can do a mysqldump on the databases on machine1, which will drop everything needed to recreate them in to a .sql file, transfer that to machine2 and then use mysqladmin to load it and have all the settings back in business? I believe they're both mysql4 installs, though machine1 might be mysql3.23, not sure.

MySQL Have No Permissions
I have installed mysql (under SuSE 8.1) and everything seems to work fine when I am logged in as root. However, with my normal user profile I can get a mysql> prompt but have no permissions to carry out any database operations. I would really like to work with my normal profile and am hoping that it is merely a question of setting permissions correctly. Can anyone tell me which files and paths I should check (and change)? Ideally, I would like mysql to create and manage the database files in my normal /home directory (rather than in the mysql directories). Is this possible? Is this desirable? Which settings would I need to change to allow this? Or should I just let mysql create the databases in it's default directory and set the permissions there?

Permissions Change
Running MySQL 4.0.18 (upgraded from MySQL 3.x), I can set the host for a user to "%", and can connect from localhost just fine, as well as remote locations.On another server running 4.0.21 (clean install), if I set the host to "%", I cannot connect from localhost unless I also set a "localhost" entry as well for that user.

Permissions With New Db's
I've got php script that created a database, then the tables in the database. The user in which the script is run, doesn't have the permissions to create a 'new' db. Moreover, mysql says that because the user is trying to create a new db, and there isn't a row specifying that the use has permission, doesn't allow the user to create the db. My solution is that I can create a row in the mysql.db table that will allow for the user to have proper permissions. My problem is that once I insert that row, it takes another post to the page for the permission to actually take hold. Is there a way to have the permissions take hold sooner? Some of the things I have tried would be toRedirect the page to (with a php header call) to re-load the pageClose the mysql connection so that a new one would have to be opened

Add Host To Permissions
Typically, one does something like "grant x,y,z on db.* to user1@localhost identified by 'password'". Is there a good way to clone the permissions for "user1@trusted-host1" et al?

How To Check Permissions On Tables
I'm developing in Groupware (a php / template-based tool for making office-like applications). It creates mysql tables as it goes. I am not seeing those tables being created, and I'd like to determine if it's a permissions problem. I'm in a shell on a Linux system, but I'm very unfamiliar with Linux command line. So far, I can logon as root, use database, show tables; (this is how I know my tables aren't there.) So, what can I do to ensure that my permissions are set up correctly? When I was setting permissions in the Linux directories, I used 'chown'.

I deleted that entry, set a password for my "root" account, and created another account with a non-blank password. The problem I am having is that I am trying to connect to the database as "root" with a blank password, and it's still working. I then tried a blank user, and it worked. I tried a random assortment of letters and numbers, and it worked.

Whoops! Removed Root's Permissions :-o
I've been running a vanilla mysql installation on a Mandrake Linux server for a couple of years. The db is being used to host a webforum for a group of friends. Everything has been running perfectly, that is, perfectly until I accidentially removed roots permissions to the mysql database. I was using webmin and was too fast on the mouse with too little coffee. Roots only remaining permission is 'select'. Now all we get from the forums is "Critial Error: Unable to connect to database". I've logged in via command line and verified that the database is running. I've also verified that no other changes were made to the db. I have other users that have all permissions, but I'm a mysql command line neophyte. Is there anything I can do to re-establish root's permissions?

User Permissions: MySQL DB Design
There is a huge problem I have been breaking my head over in the field of setting user permissions for my CMS. It is still in the development stage so I have all the freedom I need for any adjustments I need to make. My main focus of worry is on how to set the permissions, not in a static, but in a dynamic way. The end goal is to install the CMS for a variety of people. They will then have the control to make their own user groups and permission rules for each group and post. What I am having problems with is the following: Figuring out how to design the database to give me the options to: -Set read, write, edit, move, delete, vote, comment, attach permissions for posts. -Users can only do these things on posts of their user-level and lower or if they are the author. IF the post category allows this. Update: Where I am at now: I have decided to go with assigning 'levels' to each group and for each action. Level 0 is the admin level, the admin can do whatever he wants. Level 255 is a ban. I think I should set level-requirements on different types of posts. Let's say an admin announcement has edit-requirement level 0 where as an author article would have edit-requirement level 1 so only trusted mods can change it but reading-level 10 so all people can read it. (example level values). I was thinking something like this: posts[post_id....post_level_id=ì«'] post_permissions[permission_id=ì«', read_level=ཆ' edit_level=Ƈ' delete_level=Ɔ'....etc] Do you guys think this would be a good way to go? And how would you integrate this into the database? As stated before I edited the post a bit.
