Re^3: connect to DBD::MYSQL

Did you try to replace localhost with 127.0.0.1?

edit (added question): Is the error really 'Unknown MYSQL server host ' localhost' <11004>', as in '<space>localhost? Could it be your code is not actually what you pasted, and the is a space before $hostname?

the code is identical, i.e. NO space before 'localhost' tried with 127.0.0.1 get failed: access denied for user 'test_user'@'localhost' I am doing this and still doesn't work `use test; # create table (name char(20)); CREATE USER 'test_user'@'localhost'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'test_user'@'localhost'; select * from ttt;` [download] seems like the 'user' does not have access privileges. Any ideas?	[reply] [d/l]

"...Any ideas?" Not really. Did you try `SHOW GRANTS FOR 'test_user'@'localhost';` (..assuming you can connect via mysql client)? I know, i guess...but don't we do that every day? Regards, Karl ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť	[reply] [d/l]
