Add mysql user or add privileges

Andrea Ted Posted in Technical Support 2 years ago

Hello everyone!
I have a problem with the database. I created a script external to the server where ossn resides, which should retrieve the data contained in the ossndb-> ossn_users table. When I do the query from my php I can't reach the databases. I tried to create a new user on mysql, but I get the error that tells me I don't have the privileges, I tried to add all the privileges to the existing ossndb user, but this too didn't work out. Anyone know how to help me?
Thank you

Really helpful stuff Michael Zülsdorff. Got it working. I had the same problem.

Can't quite follow. To create new Ossn members remotely or fetch some data of already existing members remotely, all you need is a database user with granted remote access to the Ossn database and not a 'root' user with general access to your mysql server.

Aside from that: Why don't you simply use Ossn's API to handle your requests? See

Hi Michael thanks for the reply, but I have already followed that documentation and it is not useful, since I need the proivreads of the user mysql to create another user. The bind I have already done but it is useless if I do not enable a root user with all privileges. Thank you
