MySQL login

does anyone know why I can login to MySQL from a shell but can NOT from a PHP app i.e. Joomla installation?

I keep getting the alert "username & password provided are incorrect" and it puts me back to step 1 of the install.

thanks

if you're running 4.1, you might need to set old_passwords=1 in the my.cnf

SOLVED:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbName.* TO userName@'localhost' identified by '********';

Thanks
