I'm trying to add/remove users from mySql and phpMyAdmin
but I keep getting this error
The MySQL server is running with the --skip-grant-tables option so it cannot execute this statement
This means your server is currently running with --skip-grant-tables.
This option causes the server to start without using the privilege system at all, which gives anyone with access to the server unrestricted access to all databases.
Essentially, anyone who can connect to it can do anything they like. You currently have no username/password restrictions at all and no users have been loaded. If this server is accessible over the public internet, it is highly, massively insecure right now.
Trying to add/remove users in this state is like going to a warehouse, killing the security guard, then yelling at his corpse "DON'T LET BOB IN, I HATE BOB." and expecting that to work.

i've setup a new mysql user on a server that allows access from other servers. i can access it from my dev machine using the credentials i setup.
But on one of my other servers nothing happens when trying to log into mysql using the same credentials that worked on my dev box. any ideas what it might be?
all it does is hang.
Nothing gets added to log files on either the new DB server or the one i'm trying to access from.
i also tested this connection from another server, just to test if my dev box was a fluke andi could access. So all i can think is there's something "wrong" with the server i cant access from.
Please post your query that executes to create this user and privileges.
If you can’t remember the queries you can execute this in your target server to get details about user
SHOW GRANTS for 'root'#'localhost';
You may check these things also .
Firewall setup for the server from the trouble machine.
Can this machine connect to another sql server provided with similar access?
Execute select * from mysql.user ; and check you don’t have duplicates with
different access privileges or passwords .
turns out i had everything setup correctly, as i said i was able to use the same user across other servers just not this one.
turns out my server provider had a network firewall restricting mysql connections. removed and hey presto.
thanks #csf
I've got an AWS EC2 instance, with the usual keypair access technique (and not password access), and am using Coda to do site development on it. I've been able to configure my .ssh stuff so that Coda can connect to the site's files, and I can see them in the Remote Files pane. However, I haven't been able to get through to the database. I'm trying to set up a MySQL pane with "Connect to MySQL Server via SSH", but, regardless of what I use for parameters in that panel, I keep getting one varient or another of "The SSH Tunnel has unexpectedly closed." Has anybody been able to get database access to work? I've got a phpMyAdmin installation working on the site, but I've kinda gotten use to the Coda interface... Thanks!
The trick is to use ~/.ssh/config. Use it to create an alias with all your settings (host, port, username, password, private key, etc) and then just point to the alias.

I'm trying to connect to our SQL Server box from our web server. The only thing i've been able to find regarding the issue is to enable tcp/ip and mixed authentication.
TCP/IP is already enabled
Mixed authentication mode is selected
we already have 1 user successfully connecting to a different database so I know TCP/IP and mixed authentication are working.
Logging in as the problem user from sql manager works fine.
I get the same error creating an ODBC connection as well as a ColdFusion SQL Server data source.
According to the log files, which isn't logging all the attempts also indicates State 40, which is "Default database could not be accessed (SQL 2008)."
I've check and the default database is the one I want to open. The Schema is DBO.
Any help would be appreciated.
Make sure your user password not longer than 16 characters.
I apologize for not answering this sooner. To be honest I completely forgot about the question until I got a 'Notable Question' badge from it. Unfortunately, I'm afraid it won't help anyone as the problem was caused due to bad information from the network admins. They moved our SQL server to another box but did not shut down the old instance. Essentially, they gave me the old IP to connect to. Once I got the correct IP to the new box everything worked perfectly. The user I thought was connecting was an older account that was already established prior to the 'move' so the account existed on the old box.
If your box has multiple IP's on it, make sure the Cold Fusion server's IP address (that it's binded to) is allowed access to the SQL box. I've come across this problem in the past. I don't know if you're using a firewall or not to restrict access...but this was a problem I've encountered in the past.
I had installed Zend Server CE in my laptop and i have tried to open my phpMyAdmin page via my email address but i got following message ie (#1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server). what is the possible solution.
Error #1045 means that you have provided wrong username or password.

What have you already tried? Knowing nothing of that, here is what I would check:
Is there a MySQL server installed?
Is it running?
Can you use the MySQL command-line client to connect to the MySQL daemon?
That last step prompts its own series of troubleshooting steps, which mostly boil down to "are you using the right username/password and does that user have appropriate permissions." If you don't know how to suss that out, you should do some more research.
Actually I'm having more than one problem...but all of it has to do with connecting or working with the MySQL database...First you can see one of the errors on my website and no matter what you choose it seems to just say it can't connect to the database...I've configured a configure.php file to allow files to connect to the MySQL database...see the website here:
http://netsurfer123.byethost11.com/index.php
Then when I try to log-in to the Admin area of my MySQL database it just says:
phpMyAdmin - Error
Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.
Please let me know what I can do to correct these errors...and thanks very much in advanced for any helpful response/s.
First you need to check if the MySQL server is actually running. Use a command such as
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld status
Or similar for your system if possible.
Did you check the web server log file? Does it contain errors as indicated by phpMyAdmin?
Your site is simply unable to connect to the database to which it's trying to connect. This could be for any number of potential reasons:
Is the database running?
Is the database accessible by that machine? (Maybe there's a firewall in between the two servers, if they're separated?)
If the database is on that same machine, are you connecting to it properly? (Maybe it allows only certain connection methods, such as a socket vs. the loopback address?)
Is your connection string correct? Maybe the login is failing?
Check your PHP logs, your Apache logs, your MySQL logs. One of them is complaining about something and it's probably trying to tell you what.
