How are you telling Drupal to connect? MySQL makes a difference between
"localhost" and "127.0.0.1" (which is totally bogus). localhost means
"connection through the socket" and 127.0.0.1 means "connection through
the network interface lo0".
Does the user you're connecting as have access to the drupal database?
Did you perform the grant for <username>@localhost or
<username>@127.0.0.1? This should match the connection method.
Cheers,
Peter
