I'm scratching my head on this one as I see a ton of helper websites showing how to create MySQL users and grant privileges but for some reason it just does not work for me. I tried on both WinXP and a MacBook Pro laptop with the latest MySQL version installed.
The following is just an example from when I worked with WordPress. The actual database is something different but same issues.
Here are the steps:
mysql> mysql -uroot -p<password>
mysql> CREATE DATABASE wwordpress;
mysql> CREATE USER 'www'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'basic';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> GRANT INSERT ON wordpress.* TO 'www'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'basic';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)
mysql> SELECT * FROM mysql.user WHERE User='www' \G
*************************** 1. row *************************** Host: localhost User: www Password: *E85C94AF0F09C892339D31CF7570A970BCDC5805 Select_priv: N Insert_priv: N Update_priv: N Delete_priv: N Create_priv: N Drop_priv: N Reload_priv: N Shutdown_priv: N Process_priv: N File_priv: N Grant_priv: N References_priv: N Index_priv: N Alter_priv: N Show_db_priv: N Super_priv: N Create_tmp_table_priv: N Lock_tables_priv: N Execute_priv: N Repl_slave_priv: N Repl_client_priv: N Create_view_priv: N Show_view_priv: N Create_routine_priv: N Alter_routine_priv: N Create_user_priv: N Event_priv: N Trigger_priv: N ssl_type: ssl_cipher: x509_issuer: x509_subject: max_questions: 0 max_updates: 0 max_connections: 0 max_user_connections: 0 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql>
As you can see "Insert_priv: N" should be "Y".
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
