MySql is installed on a Ubuntu server. I am running Windows 8.
Logging in through Putty. I can log in to database with both root and webadmin user accounts.
I can also log in through my browser, using <server ip address>/phpmyadmin
My problem is when I try to use command line to log in. I am trying that approach because I am developing a webpage to access the database on that server. It fails to connect, so I thought if command line works, the webpage will also work.
commandline:
mysql -u webadmin -p
or
mysql -u root -p
error 1045 (28000): access denied for user 'webadmin'@'localhost' (using password: yes)
I added an iptables entry to allow mysql and that didn't work. Also, the firewall on server is inactive.
