i'm developing an application that requires ultradev connecting to
mysql database i had created but it keeps giving me this error.

the problem is that the ip addy 80.250.32.136 is the one assigned 2me on
connecting thru' the isp so pls what should i do?

what command should i issue to mysql server to grant access via any where on the net


invalid authorization specification : access denied for user:
' (using password:YES)

i'll need to grant priviledges for myself (how can i do that)

Hi,

As fairly new to this things myself, I recognize the situation you're in: it seems that you do not have remote access to the database on your server. No panic, just replace www.bigcreative.tv by localhost (exactly the same as the connection on your PC). Look at it from the viewpoint of the server: localhost is accepted as a computer that has access to the database on that server (because it's the server itself of course), but bigcreative.tv isn't. If you make sure that on the server you have the correct login and password, I'm sure it will work. One more tip: create the connection you described here from scratch using Tim Greens JDBC extension, otherwise not everything might be changed correctly.
