yes

the trailing domain name is my domain name (ie. teletechnics.com), it has 
planted it instead of 'localhost' I believe.  
the username and password are correct as far as I can see, I have set them 
using the ./dbpasswd.sh script and checked at the command line by access the 
mysql.
Also looking up the user tables (mysql) it lists hordemgr as a username.

I have attempted to restart the mysql database server, as well as totally re-
installing it from scratch (by removing it and all processes attached first).  
This has made no difference at all.

thanks for the help,
Tim
