It says it can't log in to the mysql database. It needs to log in to the mysql database. It tried to use a password but it did not work.

If there is a ~/.my.cnf file for the user the script runs as, is it correct? -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
