[Serusers] Connecting to Mysql - sr-users

2 Sep 2005


      Hi
I am have a problem connecting to the MySql database.  I am running 
Fedora Core 3,  ser 0.8.12 (i386/linux), mysql  Ver 12.22 Distrib 
4.0.24, for pc-linux-gnu (i686).
In ser.cfg I have chosen to use the MySql database, and attempt to 
authenticate using either of (I have tried both at seperate times):
modparam("auth_db", "db_url", "sql://root:XXXX@localhost/ser")
modparam("auth_db", "db_url", "sql://ser:heslo@localhost/ser")
both of which result in:
 0(4971) connect_db(): Access denied for user: 'ser@localhost' (Using 
password: YES)
 0(4971) db_init(): Error while trying to connect database
 0(4971) mod_init(): Error while connecting database
 0(4971) init_mod(): Error while initializing module usrloc
However:
# mysql -user -p
Enter password:heslo
AND
# mysql -user -p
Enter password:XXXX
both work.
Even if I attempt to connect using sql://root:XXXX@localhost/ser, do I 
get access denied to user ser?
I have not changed the default password 'heslo' for the ser mysql user 
yet.  I have also not changed the DEFAULT_DB_URL in config.h.
I presume this is not a bug in SER or anything like that however, and 
teh credentials are correct on the MySql side, so I am stuck.  Does 
anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks in advance
Adam
