mysql error on install 5.7.0b1

Permalink September 14, 2014 at 5:47 PM

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1130] Host 'server.site.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

My db password contains no special characters as suggested in another thread.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Had same issue on 1and1 server:

Hostname as given is

localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock

Which caused the same error so change it to the line below and the installation continues

localhost;unix_socket=/tmp/mysql5.sock
