The debian package says that be default the mysql server is installed with networking disabled. /etc/my.cnf file has a paramerter for [mysqld] of bind-address = 127.0.0.1
I am running mysqld on a machine with 3 interfaces 127.0.0.1 (ie the loopback) 192.168.0.20 (my lan interface) 82.44.22.127 (my wan interface) I am trying to use it to support mythtv-backend so this means I need to change it so mysql server listens on the loopback and on the lan interface. How? The documentation for this parameter seems sparse. mysql documentation just says bind-address=IP the IP address to bind to. No mention of what the default is if its not there. Mythtv setup doesn't even mention it. I am sure a requirement to bind to a loopback address and one other is a common requirement.
