Hello, I've just recently discovered a problem that I'm having a bit of difficulty solving. I have a MySQL server running (3.23.47) on a Debian machine and everything seemed to be working fine until I tried to connect to the SQL through tcp/ip sockets. It works fine through Unix sockets, but when I connect with tcp/ip, I get the following error: ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'myhostname' (111)
Telnetting to 'myhostname 3306' results in: Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused I ran 'mysqladmin variables' and found that the port variable was set to 0. I checked the my.cnf file and ensured that it was set to 3306 and then tried starting the mysql server with the '--port=3306' command line option. After checking the variables again, port was STILL set to 0 and I STILL can't connect through tcp/ip ports. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. -- Ryan [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
