[Xerte] Re: MYSQL access denied error

[Ron Mitchell]

I think what Paul and Pat meant was in database.php (or when running setup)
use localhost for database_host rather than an IP address 

 

e.g. in database.php do you have the following

 

/*

* Host where database is

*/

$xerte_toolkits_site->database_host = "localhost";

 

assuming you db is on the same server as toolkits?

Hi,

 

Do you mean use "localhost" as the "bind-address in "my.cnf"?

 

If I do this, I get 111 errors when trying to access through a browser on
remote workstation (we need to be able to access mysql from remote PCs). I
am using "bind-address" "0.0.0.0" which seems to get me as far as the
original error mentioned.

 

If I login to mysql at the command line locally, then type this :-

 

"use mysql;"

"select user, host, super_priv from user;"

 

I get this response :-

 

+------------------+----------------+------------+-----------------------

| user                                    | host
| super_priv |

+------------------+----------------+------------+-----------------------

| root                                    | localhost
| Y          |

| debian-sys-maint         | localhost                          | Y
|

| pma                                    | localhost
| N          |

| root                                    | %
| Y          |

| www-data                       | %
| N          |

| pma                                    | 192.168.240.98               | N
|

+------------------+----------------+------------+-----------------------

 

Can you see an issue here? (I am using "root" at this point for xerte
"proxy" mysql account - have tried changing it to another user with no
success as far)

The file system permissions on the "xerte" directory under Apache root are
all flagged 777 for global access.
