Mysql grant all privileges is not getting applied

I issue the 开发者_JAVA百科following command to allow root login from any host

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'xxxx' WITH GRANT OPTION;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

but it does not update?

mysql> show grants;
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for root@localhost                                                                                                              |

I suspect it's because you're issuing the "show grants" command when connected as root to localhost. Try this and see what is returned:

SHOW GRANTS FOR 'root'@'%';

And if that doesn't show up anything, have a look in the mysql.user table, there might be a clue in there:

SELECT user, host FROM mysql.user;

create user 'user'@'%' identified by 'pass'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

what i did was to add with grant option :) grant all on . to 'user'@'%' with grant option;

then it began to work it should be...
