I'm trying to develop a web application using JDeveloper/MySql... My 'try-out' servlet ends here: conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/eyes?user=me&password=pwd"); saying "Access denied for user 'me'@'localhost.localdomain' (using password: YES) 11045 228000" user me has been granted 'all' and the database eyes is accessible via the commandline. Any help is appreciated! I'm running on Fedora Core 4.
