Hello, A new question has been asked in "Downloads" by mathman54. Please answer it at http://mariadb.com/kb/en/problems-with-user-access-to-db/ as the person asking the question may not be subscribed to the mailing list. -------------------------------- I have MariaDB 10.1 installed. I am trying to get some software installed but am running into problems. I have created a database and user for that database, but when I run the software it cannot connect to the database. The user I created was on the database sam I used the command MySQL -u sam -p'sam's password' sam's database I get access denied for user 'sam'@'localhost' I used the command "grant all privileges on newdb.* to sam@localhost;" I also did a "grant usage on *.* to sam@localhost identified by 'sams password'; Is there something I am doing wrong? Is there something I am missing? Your help is appreciated.
