Hello,

I'm setting up MySQL 5.5 on a FreeBSD box and I'm getting error when I'm trying to connect to it. The error message is "Failed to connect to MySQL server with user user:SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)".

I'm relatively new to all of this and I'm not sure what permissions to give and where.

Could someone help me please?

Thank you in advance,
 
Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)".
Is your user name really "user" for a fresh installation it should be "root", with no password.

Once logged in you can define permissions per User.
