Calendars not syncing - MySQL problems
Calendars not syncing - MySQL problems
Since some time in May our two PCs (running windows 7) have not been syncing. I have noticed that my PC is not connecting to the MySQL server. I have re-installed MySQL but still no connection. I have ensured that Norton Internet Security will allow the connection.
I hope this problem can be easily resolved.- VueSoft

Hi gmh, this sounds like a permissions problem on the account you're using to connect. The minimum permissions are shown in the screenshot below:

If you still can't get it to connect, please see the page linked below for a possible solution:

Well, at least now you're getting a different message. Have you double-checked the correct password has been entered in the Sharing Options?
You might also try uninstalling MySQL Server and then reinstall it, closely following the instructions linked below (especially step 2-18).

Hi gmh, the "too many connections" problem has been corrected for the next release. I'll post a reply as soon as it's ready to download. In the meantime, try rebooting the server and your PCs.
