Question

This isn’t working:

use mysql

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'@'192.168.1.2'

Nor is

use mysql

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'@'192.168.1.2' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'

This is the error I’m getting:

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root'@'192.168.1.2'' at line 3

I’m on server version 5.5.8. What’s wrong?

Answer 1

Try this:

use mysql

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'root@192.168.1.2' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'
