Re: [hylafax-users] Cypheus problem

["Nigel Allen" <dna@prosmart.com.au>]

You were absolutely right :( 

It was a problem with priveleges - the data was in there (host, user 
etc) but regardless of flushing, nothing happened until I shut down 
mysqld and restarted it - suddenly I could connect.

BTW, I have a more questions on Cypheus - should I ask them here or 
direct them to the developers?

TIA

Nigel.
