Access Denied in MySQL, just not for everything

MAMP Pro is running my Apache and Mysql instances. When I mysql -u root -p -P 8889 I get access denied. When I try to access the database through Sequel Pro I get access denied. However, my Wordpress installation is talking to the database fine, and PHPMyAdmin through MAMP is also talking to the database just fine. So what gives? I must be missing a setting or maybe I need to give Sequel Pro or the mysql command a socket?

Solution

  • Try using this socket with sequel? /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock
