    Hi folks,

    I have little troubles with my MySQL, I have never seen it and I cannot google it.

    If I set some MySQL user access from host "%" he cannot log in from localhost. MySQL version is 5.0.37, Fedora 7.

    Is it exist some another wildcart which includes all and localhost? or is it some option which enables that "%" includes localhost too?


    Thanks all

    Tom

    Well you could always just make another "user" for localhost which is identified by the same password. Then that will pretty much cover it all...odd though that the wildcard wouldn't cover localhost, though adding the second entry should work.

    Thanks.

    It works

    Yes, this works but I am confused why % doesn't include localhost.:confused: When I check runnig proccesses there is host localhost.

    It could be, that my local access skip TCP connection???

    Could you post the output of netstat -tap and your MySQL config file please?

    # Replication Slave (comment out master section to use this)
    #
    # To configure this host as a replication slave, you can choose between
    # two methods :
    #
    # 1) Use the CHANGE MASTER TO command (fully described in our manual) -
    #    the syntax is:
    #
    #    CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST=<host>, MASTER_PORT=<port>,
    #    MASTER_USER=<user>, MASTER_PASSWORD=<password> ;
    #
    #    where you replace <host>, <user>, <password> by quoted strings and
    #    <port> by the master's port number (3306 by default).
    #
    #    Example:
    #
    #    CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='125.564.12.1', MASTER_PORT=3306,
    #    MASTER_USER='joe', MASTER_PASSWORD='secret';
    #
    # OR
    #
    # 2) Set the variables below. However, in case you choose this method, then
    #    start replication for the first time (even unsuccessfully, for example
    #    if you mistyped the password in master-password and the slave fails to
    #    connect), the slave will create a master.info file, and any later
    #    change in this file to the variables' values below will be ignored and
    #    overridden by the content of the master.info file, unless you shutdown
    #    the slave server, delete master.info and restart the slaver server.
    #    For that reason, you may want to leave the lines below untouched
    #    (commented) and instead use CHANGE MASTER TO (see above)
    #
    # required unique id between 2 and 2^32 - 1
    # (and different from the master)
    # defaults to 2 if master-host is set
    # but will not function as a slave if omitted
    #server-id       = 2
    #
    # The replication master for this slave - required
    #master-host     =   <hostname>
    #
    # The username the slave will use for authentication when connecting
    # to the master - required
    #master-user     =   <username>
    #
    # The password the slave will authenticate with when connecting to
    # the master - required
    #master-password =   <password>
    #
    # The port the master is listening on.

    Hmmm, that is puzzling, have you tried connecting from 127.0.0.1, maybe it just doesn't like the fact that that's a hostname *shrug* I'll have to look into this a little.

    Thanks.

    Idea

    Could be in my /etc/hosts?

    Code:
    # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
    # that require network functionality will fail.
    127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain	localhost	golias
    195.47.7.1	golias.domain.cz
    ::1	localhost6.localdomain6	localhost6

    Can you try and move the golias to the 195.47.7.1 line in /etc/hosts?

    Also, did you restart MySQL or run a
    Code:
    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
    after your changes to the mysql.user table?

    Bad news

    Hi Falko,

    I tried this change
    Code:
    # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
    # that require network functionality will fail.
    127.0.0.1	localhost	
    195.47.7.1	golias.domain.cz golias
    ::1	localhost6.localdomain6	localhost6 
    bad it doesn't work :(

    I tried restart whole server bad nothing happed.

    Before save it asked me that there is hardlink ... a didn't brake it.

    You've removed localhost.localdomain from the 127.0.0.1 line. Please put it back in.

    Hi Falko,

    I tried it yesterday, but I wasn't sure .... I have placed it back, but same result .... % doesn't include localhost :(

    I'm very desperate

    I'm always having one record for localhost and one record for % in my mysql.user table. Try to add a seperate record for localhost.

    Hi Falko,

    this configuration works I tried it at first, but all previous installations of MySQL run with only one row and this row include localhost.
    Do you mean, that have two rows is right way?

    Tom
