can’t add priviledges

  • I am trying to add privileges to my database user but I keep getting the following message:

    SQL query:

    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO ‘holden’@’localhost’ WITH GRANT OPTION ;

    MySQL said: Documentation
    #1045 – Access denied for user ‘holden’@’localhost’ (using password: YES)

    This comes up every time I try and add privileges. Can anyone help me? I’m completely lost and can’t set up wordpress without this.

    This message also comes up on the privilege window:

    Warning: Your privilege table structure seem to be older than this MySQL version!
    Please run the script mysql_fix_privilege_tables that should be included in your MySQL server distribution to solve this problem!

    How do I do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    There is actually a plugin for this, well I think for what you want to do ??

    dommega8, that plugin’s purpose has nothing to do with MySQL user privileges.

    tyharper, is this a self-hosted setup? If not, you may have to contact your provider to have them look into it.

    It’s hosted with Geocities and their ‘help’ is all automated, otherwise I would have contacted them all ready.
