Re: Dreamweaver CS3 Database connections

I've use dreamweaver a few times for CMS development with MySQL, so I was curious myself.. Here's what I found as three "solutions", I don't know if it will help, but I hope so...

----------------------
(1) make sure you have granted access to your user: (run command line)
mysql> GRANT ALL ON databaseName.* TO 'your_mysql_name'@'your_client_host';

(2) sometimes when you create a user for hostname/ip:%
and you try to connect on localhost give this error so all you have to do is to create the user for hostname/ip: localhost

(3) i have just found out that when there is an account for anonymous user i cannot connect to database with my other valid non-root users. So i have removed anonymous account and all is fine.

You can remove anonymous account in MySQL Administrator or if you cannot connect to it with your root user you can try to remove anonymous user account by reconfiguring your MySQL instance with "MySQL Server Config Wizard". On one of the last pages there is a check box whether or not to create anonymous account. Do not check that.
