无法从Zapier＃1044连接到数据库-用户被拒绝访问

Question

I am trying to connect Zapier to my Database. Zapier has very limited support for this and seem to be going round in circles.

I need to GRANT SELECT to a user on my database with this code;

GRANT SELECT ON my-database-here.my-table-here TO 'user-here'@'ip-address-here' IDENTIFIED BY 'my-password-here';

The error i receive is;

#1044 - Access denied for user 'xxx'@'localhost' to database 'xxxx'

The user has ALL PRIVILEGES but can't seem to get it to work. Any help here could be greatly received.

Thanks

Answer 1

You may need to set up a root account for your MySQL database:

In the terminal type: mysqladmin -u root password 'root password goes here'

And then to invoke the MySQL client: mysql -h localhost -u root -p

you have 2 issues:

1 => mysql -uroot -p should be typed in bash (also known as your terminal) not in MySQL command-line. You fix this error by typing.

 exit

in your MySQL command-line. Now you are back in your bash/terminal command-line.

You have a syntax error:

mysql -uroot -p;

the semicolon in front of -p needs to go. The correct syntax is:

mysql -uroot -p

type the correct syntax in your bash commandline. Enter a password if you have one set up; else just hit the enter button. You should get a response that is similar to this:
