[Xerte] Re: MYSQL access denied error

[Paul Swanson]

Ahh, that makes sense. $ is a special character in PHP and some other
languages. Other characters to avoid in passwords are single and double
quotes, semi-colons, backslash and spaces. Underscores, hyphens, @
symbol and probably # should be safe.

Hi all,
 
Thanks for all your help guys!
 
It's going in now to Xerte pages ok. It looks like the issue was
ultimately with a "$" character in the password I was using. Once I used
a password without this it started getting past the "access denied"
error.
 
Now I am getting another issue related to LDAP authentication, but I'll
create another thread for that  ;-)
 
Regards
 
James
