Hi Folks, I have a general MySQL problem. It's not just PHPMyAdmin -- it seems to be more the way MySQL is setup (?) Here is what I can confirm is working: * I can add users * I can add databases * I can import SQL Here is what I can confirm is not working: * I cannot add user rights to databases (i.e. cannot modify a user to give him rights to a DB) * I cannot drop databases I started with the root password as standard and when that didn't work, I changed it. Still didn't work. I have followed all the instructions here: http://brionews.com/alt/sql-error-1045-workaround.txt. Still no luck. I have tried with the MySQL official SQL tools -- specifically, MySQL Query Browser -- and it doesn't work there, either. For example: CREATE DATABASE 'mydb'; // database is created DROP DATABASE 'mydb'; // database cannot be dropped, error given as: "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' to database 'mydb' That's too weird. I guess I could now go ahead and install a fresh copy of MySQL, but having spent an hour on this I'm going back to Uniform Server 3.3 for now :=) Cheers, Ed
