HELP!!! permissions not working!

[Timothy Waters]

I've been messing around making very simple web pages using PHP and connecting 
to a MySQL database. I've tried using different users to connect and 
different grants, but so far the ONLY user that can connect through these 
pages is root, and we all know that isn't cool. I've done "grant all on * to 
someuser identified by 'somepass'; and it STILL won't even log into MySQL 
using the command line! I'm totally in the dark on this one. Any clues?
