This is so absurd, but i've come to a dead end and don't know what else to do. I'm just trying to connecto a database and the code is correct, the user has all the rights (more then required!!!, since i gave him all the rights to do whatever he wants), in localhost, in server name as in any server!!! i still can't connect? Is there any security issue that my be slipping under my bear?

i use mandriva 10.2, Mysql 4.1 and apache 2.

thanks in advance

you've said nothing about you're actually doing... is mysqld even running? are there any errors? can you connect directly througth a terminal?

*Try commenting the line skip-networking in the configuration file my.cnf of mysql. It is located in general in /etc or /etc/mysql.
*Restart mysql and try again.

Sorry for the late reply. I solve it and was so envolved in my work iforgot about you guys

Ok, update:

@acid_kewpie:
yes, of course mysqld is running, and i can enter in mysql from terminal and with phpMyAdmin.

@mrcheeks:
there's no problem with my my.cnf... i have that line commented from start. But thanks

Ok the thing is ... i admin my mysql from phpMyAdmin and i think it may have a bug there. I did search the phpMyAdmin home page for this but come out nothing. If i just create the user and grant him the priv's through phpMyAdmin, it wont work!!! although when i browse the database from phpmyadmin, i can see his privs properly. Only granting privs from mysql console i get it to work. Most wierd

Thanks for all you're help
