I'm getting a very strange error, I've created a user 'testuser' with the following credentials:
CREATE USER 'testuser'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '123456';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'testuser'@'%';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
I have also modified my /etc/mysql/my.cnf not to bind to any single address. (Which afaik should accept connections from anywhere?) And restarted mysql.
And I can connect locally no problem.
I am running inside a virtual box on ubunutu.
Trying to connect from my windows machine, gives me MySQL error number 1045 Access denied for user 'testuser'@'192.168.0.22'.
I'm confident that it's not a networking problem as changing the host or port gives a different error "Cannot connect to the specified instance"
Logging in as root and looking at the users table - all looks as expected. (Single row, '%' for host and all permissions set.)
I've been banging my head against the wall all afternoon... can anyone suggest any other possible causes for this error?
Thanks for any help.
