[ale] Mysql connection fail

[Beddingfield, Allen]

What does your mysql.user table look like?  I've found that "grant all privileges on dbname.* to 'user'@'localhost' identified by 'password'" is not equal to "grant all privileges on dbname.* to 'user'@'127.0.0.1' identified by 'password".

If all else fails, create a new 'user'@'%'

    It's all on one host. Can't cli as wordpress access from the only host mysql has ever known.
    
    One other account can get in but it seems to be just a dumb user account with ability to adjust permission.
    
    Google was not helpful. Related fails discussed /etc/hosts entries (methodically test all combos of localhost,
    127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1>, the host IP, host fqdm, short name) but that seems to have no impact.

     This was bugging me (until internet went out late yesterday).
     
     I can't connect to a mysql database from cli. The wordpress user can 
     from wordpress. But even as the wordpress user with proper credentials, 
     no cli access. Errors out with a user @localhost credential failed/not 
     allowed.
     
     That kind of horks a mysqldump.
     
     Tried ip, hostname, access by root (that also fails - WTF!) all with 
     same error. Yet wordpress just chugs along.
     
     Ideas?
    
    
    
    
    I'm not an expert, but the database permissions might specify a remote 
    host but not a local one. Also, selinux or iptables restricting 
    127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1> might impact things.
    
    Can you cli as wordpress from the wordpress host?
