Hi,
I am experimenting with MySQL. I would like to use the Mac as a database server. I have managed to get the mac to look at a test DB on XP, and on the mac I have created a new database. But when I try from XP to connect to the one on the mac, I get the error:
Host 10.0.1.2 is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server
where 10.0.1.2 is the XP machine.
I have opened port 3306 in Sharing. When I did that, it changed the error I was getting to this "not allowed" one. With that port closed the message I get is
Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.0.1.4'
where 10.0.1.4 is the Mac
Any ideas what to do?
TIA,
Mark
