MySQL Connection Prob - Help!

[Anon]

Hi. This is a newbie question. I keep getting the Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Host LocalHost is not allowed to connect to this MySQL Server in /phpMyAdmin/lib.inc.php on line 257. Please help and thanks in advance.

Describe your problem in greater detail and I should be able to help you. Specifically, where does the database to which you're attempting to connect live? I.E., is it on your local machine or on your web host's machine (I assume it's on your local machine, since you're using LocalHost - but you never know). Also, provide your logon script so I can take a look.

Hi Jason. Thanks for your reply. everything is on the same machine (everest.verticalsyndicate.com). When I try to do anything with mySQL I get:
Host 'everest.verticalsyndicate.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server.
When I do it via netscape using phpMyAdmin, I get the same error message with
" in /usr/local/nusphere/apache/nsdocs/phpMyAdmin/lib.inc.php on line 257". When I go to that line in the described file, it reads:
$link=$connect_func($cfgServer['host'].":".$cfgServer['port'], $cfgServer['user'].. and so on for 'password'.
I am thinking that the answer might be the way i configured my "config.inc.php" file, but everything looks in order. I have set host to my localhost domain number, port to "3306", user to "root", and password to "my_password".

I am out of ideas...

I looked for my logon file for everest.verticalsyndicate.com and didn't seem to find one. Is that possible? When I tried to create it with ./mysqlbinlog, I got the same connection error.

Thanks in advance!
