Malformed Header

Mon Nov 3 08:55:00 EST 2003

Hello Kiran,

hmmm. Ensure that MySQL-DB-accesses are allowed for python (maybe use 
PHPMyAdmin to administrate MySQL and select the appropriate options). 
You can set from which IPs MySQL-accesses are allowed (e. g. 
"localhost" if Python and MySQL are running on same computer) and which 
privileges are granted for this IP.

Have you checked PYTHONPATH whether the right MySQLdb-module is 
imported (if you have more than one versions of python or mysqldb 
installed)?

Hmmm. I think a password statement is missing in your code " connection 
= MySQLdb.connect( db = "try" ) "

Here is an example of my statement which works fine:

"db = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost", db="mydatabase", 
user="thegreatestuser", passwd="mypassword")"

Maybe this helps?

Cheers,
Eric
