I'm trying to access mysql (3.22.32) using a perl script which calls a java utility. I've tried adding rows into the mysql table, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I can get into mysql using the user name and password described below by typing it in from the command line. For some reason the perl/java can't get in. Here's the call from the perl script<br><br>java -cp /home/cup1/mysql_setup/VGDB-Server.jar Util.DBInsert fowlpox.gb.temp -dbName=test1 -dbUser=biocuser -dbPassword=biocuser<br><br>Which gives the following error.<br><br>Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException:<br>E2011 Access error 1045 Access denied for user: 'biocuser@localhost' (Using password: YES)<br> at twz1.jdbc.mysql.jdbcMysqlBase.errMessage(jdbcMysqlBase.java:432)<br> at twz1.jdbc.mysql.jdbcMysqlConnex.errHandlerL(jdbcMysqlConnex.java:667) at twz1.jdbc.mysql.jdbcMysqlConnex.errHandlerPS(jdbcMysqlConnex.java:673)<br> at twz1.jdbc.mysql.jdbcMysqlConnex.xOpen(jdbcMysqlConnex.java:328)<br> at twz1.jdbc.mysql.jdbcMysqlConnex.<init>(jdbcMysqlConnex.java:227)<br> at twz1.jdbc.mysql.jdbcMysqlDriver.connect(jdbcMysqlDriver.java:105)<br> at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:453)<br> at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:133)<br> at Util.DBInsert.main(DBInsert.java:29)<br><br>Line 29 in Util.DBInsert is:<br>Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection( url, DBInsertConfig.dbUser , DBInsertConfig.dbPassword ); <br><br><br>Any ideas would be useful.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Paul Ripley
