[PLUG] MySQL3 and Fedora Core 3

["ChrisB." <chris@chrisbovasso.com>]

Everyone,

So I bit the bullet on Tuesday and installed Fedora Core 3 for the first
time. I have never used a RedHat product before and I was very impressed at
how easy it was to install. Apt-get, yum and rpm are truly god sends. I have
to admit though that I felt very naked without my trusty ./configure at my
side. 

But I digress, I am trying to build a MythTV box and everything seemed to go
fine but I can not connect to the mysql service running. At first I thought
it was just a MythTV issue but I was unable to connect to the MySQL through
PHP as well. I keep getting the same error (see below) now I know that
MySQL4 has issues with user password authentication but I am using MySQL3
still, I read up on FC3 and the SELinux giving MySQL issues, so I disabled
it but yet the issue persists.

So as great as apt-get, yum and rpm are, it leaves me in the position of
knowing next to nothing of FC3 inner workings even *after* I have
successfully installed it. I am not too sure what to try next. Does the
error strike anyone?

Thanks in advance,


Chris.


MySQL connection error:


FYI: I tried all the obvious things, password is the same, permissions, etc.
I can connect to MySQL through the console without an error but when an
application tries to connect I get basically the same error 'access denied'.
