No Login On Hosted Sites?
Hi,

is it possible that the script does not work on hosted web sites? I mean sites, where the webspcae is only rented from a web hoster (e.g. like Strato or even Gossamer). Is it necessary to have "root" access rights?

Background:

We have rented webspace with Hetzner. The OS is FreeBSD. They installed mySQL database for us and gave us the info about the database name, the user id, and the password.

If I access the server via telnet, and if I enter

mysql -h..... -u...... -p......

I can access the database.

If I enter the same information into the login screen of MySQLMan, it always fails.
Error messages: "Login failed" or "Cannot connect to msql server".

Also entering "localhost" for the host name field or leaving it blank has no effect!

Can the script only be run on a server "owned" by us?
