I am sure there is a simple fix for this but I can't find it. I can make a connection to mysql using mysql -u root -p without a problem and I can use mysql -h local -u root without a problem, however, when I try mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p or try mysql -h web01 -u root -p I get a 1045 error. When I try and make a connection from a webpage I get the MysqlConnection Failed. Access denied for user.... This thing was working until I decided I needed to learn how to install it (Yes I have been kicking myself for not making a backup for the last 8 hours). From the command line I can access all our old data so I am thinking I missed something in the make of this thing.
Thanks for you help.

If you are using PHP, as I know you should use:
mysql_connect to connect to the server, and which will take parameters in different way. Then you should choose your DB using
Here they are:
int mysql_connect(string [hostname [:port] [:/path/to/socket] ] , string [username] , string [password] );
int mysql_select_db(string database_name, int [link_identifier] );
What you were asing, is used at console, but try these using PHP,
O.K I hope this will help.
Did you give the user permission to access the database remotely? For example, if you want to give a user permission to access a database locally, you'd do:
grant all on databasename.* to user@localhost identified by password;
if you want to give them permission to access remotely, you'd use also:
grant all on databasename.* to user@% identified by password;

Fordste, can you give more specific details about the way you are connecting to MySQL? Is it perl script, and do you use DBI, or maybe PHP.
Then we can look into it.
