hi, I'm trying the Perfect SpamSnake how to and everything is looking good. Exept when I reach : Now for recovering the bayes_dbm to bayes_sql. sa-learn -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf --restore sa_bayes_backup.txt This gives me an error with the restore. Running it with the -D option gives me: [32441] dbg: replacetags: done replacing tags [32441] dbg: bayes: using username: root [32441] dbg: bayes: unable to connect to database: Access denied for user 'sa_user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [32441] dbg: config: score set 1 chosen. [32441] dbg: bayes: unable to connect to database: Access denied for user 'sa_user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [32441] dbg: bayes: unable to connect to database: Access denied for user 'sa_user'@'localhost' (using password: YES) Looks like i can't connect to the mysql database with sa_user, I've copied the right credentials into spam.assassin.prefs.conf, and can connect to mysql with sa_user from the command line... spam.assassing.prefs.conf looks like: bayes_store_module Mail::SpamAssassin::BayesStore::SQL bayes_sql_dsn DBI:mysql:sa_bayes:localhost bayes_sql_username sa_user bayes_sql_password My sa_user's password bayes_sql_override_username root Is there some other place i also need to put the mysql credentials in? Regards
oh yes: when i connect to the mysql sa_bayes db, I can view the tables (which are empty ofcourse, but they're there and i can connect with the sa_user)
