Topic: MySQL / PHP Problem

[Chris L. Gray]

I know, I know, this has been covered. I have even read the HOWTO's and searched this forum and there is STILL something I am missing...

I have a PHP install.php script (for a Flash/PHP Chat App) that has to be configured so that it can create new databases (and such) in MySQL.

I made the following changes to the install file:

$dbase["host"] = "linuxtwo";                    
$dbase["user"] = "root";            
$dbase["pass"] = "AWEeee56677blahblahblah"

According to the instructions for the app in question all I should have to do now is pull up the install.php script in a web browser to finish configuring and installiing. What *I* get is:

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Host 'linuxtwo.shopmop.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/points/html/install.php on line 6

ANY thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated. Is it because of the PHP security feature mentioned previously? I would think not since I am using "root" and the correct PW.

Thanks!

Oh, let me toss this in: I have also tried setting "host" to "localhost" and that didn't work either.
