I have tried using root to connect, I have tried granting user privileges in the User and Values Table of MySQL database, none worked.
I have a friend who is using a full-fledge Redhat 8 with MySQL installed, he has no problem connecting the Navicat from his Windows desktop to the Linux box.
I suspect that there must be some configurational problems in the MySQL server that comes with SME 5.6
Can someone enlighten me with this problem? Thanks heaps!
