    MySQL requires users to have both database privileges and host privileges to connect. A user that does not have permission to connect from at least 'localhost' will not be allowed access any databases. If you are using a GUI to configure MySQL, look for a way to check and add hosts to the user's profile. This can be done from the command line, too, but I don't know the commands off the top of my head. A quick google will find them, I'm sure.
