    <p>I have seen this same question in many forms on this site and in many other forums. However, I have tried all the solutions and still have the same outcome. I'm pretty sure I once had root access on this MySQL server in the past and I was even able to use the phpMyAdmin tool to create databases amongst others queries. Now when I go to phpMyAdmin and click on databases I am greeted by:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/387UB.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>If I use the command tool I can login using:</p> <pre><code>mysql -u root -p </code></pre> <p>I get prompted to enter a password and I do so. When I try to do anything else, say:</p> <pre><code>mysql&gt; SELECT user, host FROM mysql.user; I get the following: ERROR 1142 (42000): SELECT command denied to user 'root'@'localhost' for table 'user' </code></pre> <p>I have also followed this article ( <a href="http://benrobb.com/2007/01/15/howto-remote-root-access-to-mysql/" rel="noreferrer">http://benrobb.com/2007/01/15/howto-remote-root-access-to-mysql/</a> ) since yes I am ssh'ing to this MySQL server from a remote machine. Again, when I attempt:</p> <pre><code>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION; </code></pre> <p>In various forms, I am greeted by a nasty:</p> <pre><code>ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) </code></pre> <p>Even though I am putting the same password I used to login! I also want to mention that I updated my pear resources yesterday and I wonder if this was the cause of this mess...</p> <p>If anyone can guide me, I'd truly appreciate it. Thank you for all your time and consideration.</p> <p>Elshae</p> <p>****Update**** In trying to troubleshoot and running mysqld I now cannot start the server back up! Every time I run:</p> <pre><code>/etc/init.d/mysql start Starting MySQL database server: mysqld . . . . . . . . . . . . . . failed! </code></pre> <p>What should I do?</p>

    2. COHow was your MySQL server installed/started? There's an option that makes it ignore grant tables at startup, but it has side effects like what you describe...

    3. COOuch, unfortunately I didn't install it. Is there anyway that I can get that information? Also, I have stopped and started it before using commands /etc/init.d/mysql start/stop if that plays any part..

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
