I created a database on sql-s1-user to which I can connect via my PHP code. Also I have a C program that needs to connect as well. If I call the C program from the command line, it works perfectly. However, if it is called from the PHP script using shell_exec() by the web server user, I get the following error message: Access denied for user &#39;ant&#39;(a)&#39;damiana-bge0.esi.toolserver.org&#39; (using password: NO) Here's part of the C code: ----- const char *_dbhost = "sql-s1-user"; MYSQL *connection, mysql; mysql_init(&mysql); mysql_options(&mysql, MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_GROUP, "client"); connection = mysql_real_connect(&mysql, _dbhost, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0, NULL, CLIENT_MULTI_STATEMENTS); if (!connection) { cout << mysql_error(&mysql) << endl; return 1; } ----- Thank you very much. ant [1] https://github.com/antofosm/wp-revision-network _______________________________________________ Toolserver-l mailing list (Toolserver-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette
