DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED!

[gbrentnell]

//$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://root:properpassword@localhost/roundcube';
$rcmail_config['db_dsnw'] = 'mysql://rmail:properpassword@localhost/roundcube';


If I use the root and password for my DB connect string, everything works great. If I switch it to a named user, I get the DATABASE RROR: CONNECTION FAILED! error.

I'm able to use mysql -u rmail -pproperpassword from a command prompt and get logged into mysql correctly.

Using the MYSQL control panel, I've ensured that I've granted all privleges except 'grant' to the rmail user.

I've even tried 'add host from which this user can connect' and adding localhost to that list.

I for the life of me, can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks!

I am also getting
DATABASE ERROR: CONNECTION FAILED!
Unable to connect to the database!
Please contact your server-administrator.

Login to mySQL is successful using command prompt with the same username/password I use in db.inc.php
This is my db.inc.php (password removed):

// end db config file

I'm stumped at this point. Can anyone help?

After adjusting table/user privileges, did you reload mysql to activate the changes?

That's all I can come up with without a viable error message

I removed the latest nightly version and re-installed RC 0.1beta and the problem has gone away.

If you followed the installation instructions on http://trac.roundcube.net/trac.cgi/wiki/Howto_Install. Try the following option: Rename the file located in /config/ "db.inc.php.dist" in to "db.inc.php" and refresh your page.

I have the same problem. By any chance are you running it on IIS 5.0 ?

Same here.

Nothing worse than developers ignoring common errors. Oh well, that's that.

The price of something like Atmail is starting to appeal in light of the headaches with these other options.
