Topic: mySql errors w/phpgroupware

[david bakody]

This may not be the place for this, but I've seen discussion from time to time about phpgroupware.

I untarred phpgroupware and it was pretty uneventful.  I thought I properly configured the phpgroupware header.inc.php file, but evidently not.

When I log in, I get this error several dozen times in my browser...

Warning: Host 'e-smith.bakody.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server in /home/e-smith/files/primary/phpgroupware/inc/phpgwapi/phpgw_db_mysql.inc.php on line 73

Is this a permission problem?  If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'd sure appreciate it.

it sure sound like a mysql permissions error to me.  Make sure that the user you have set in the config file has permission to log in to mysql.

for a test use the user root and the mysql root password. Or if you don't have a passwaord setup then you should setup a user and password in mysql.  

Note:  MySql users/passwords are not the same as system users.

I think it may be a problem with MySQL permissions.  Most likely, you've listed the MySQL server by name rather than "localhost" in the config file.  Try changing it to localhost (and, perhaps, using the MySQL root user and password), and see if that helps.
