I had the same problem and dug to find the solution. First, if you made any user for your 'chatuser' database (check the msSQL database user), you may want to delete them and start over.<br><br>here is how it is done:<br><br>Login to the mySQL database (guess as the admin account - someone that has all the access).<br><br>Enter the following<br>-------------------------------------------------<br><br># -- Making user=chatAdmin, password=password<br><br># -- Added the user from the local account (mySQL bug I think) ----<br>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON chatusers.* TO chatAdmin@localhost<br> IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;<br> <br>#-- Now make the user so that they can login from elsewhere <br>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON chatusers.* TO chatAdmin@"%"<br> IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;<br> <br># -- Done: login from command line: <br># -- mysql chatusers -u chatAdmin -p <br><br><br>-------------------------------------------------<br><br>That should do it for you. Don't know if you still need this info. I just started with mySQL this weekend and found this board. But if you don't, others might. <br><br>David Genrich<br><br>
