Looks like permission problems, what version of MySql? Did you run the grant all command? Did you allow network access? Check the bind address in my.conf

MySql 5.5.34

I did run the grand all command, as follows: GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'xbmc'; Is there any harm in doing that again? Having said that, I installed MySQL Workbench to verify the setup, and can see the xbmc ID has all privileges (% HOST ; % Schema, and all Privileges checked).

I do not have a my.conf file. But do have a my.ini file in the program install directory. Same thing? And there is no bind address that I can see (in fact, there are no ip addresses in that file).

Also, moved my log file to xbmclogs. http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=66701
Thanks for helping!
