You'll have to check your `mysql.user` table and check to see what the `host` field is set to for the user you are trying to connect as.</p> <p>If the value is "%", that is a wild card and you may connect from any host. If the value is "localhost", you may only connect from localhost. There may be more than one record for any given user/pass combination.</p> Thu, 23 Jan 2003 17:57:46 +0000 Mark Hensler comment 1124053 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
