If you try and telnet to port 3306 on the machine that MySQL is running on, you will see the connection being established, then you'll see garbage, as MySQL is designed to talk to clients on that port, not humans ;) If you are seeing the connection being established, then *immediately* dropped, not refused, then the problem may be in MySQL. If the connection is refused, this is a different issue. Depending on what version of MySQL and Linux/whatever you're running, I believe there's a verified problem with MySQL and RedHat Linux - mismatch of glibc version, I think. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
