PHP + MySQL Access Denied

Hi,

I keep getting an access denied error when trying
to connect to mysql using user@localhost. I can
connect just fine if I use the IP address instead
(ie user@192.168.1.5).

I granted "user" privileges for everything so I don't
see why that's the problem.

Is this an issue where "localhost" is not getting resolved
correctly?

I'm on Linux, BTW.

Thanks,

Andrew

seems /etc/hosts doesn't have an entry as in:

localhost 192.168.1.5

Thanks Andreas, I will have a look at that.
