I have recently installed RedHat 8 and the following RPMs: [root@chimp etc]# rpm -q mysql mysql-3.23.52-3
[root@chimp etc]# rpm -q mysql-server mysql-server-3.23.52-3 I am having problems connecting to the server remotely through the TCP connection, the firewall is completely disabled: njc2@hilton njc2/mysql/bin> mysqladmin -h chimp.battlemonkey.net -p version Enter password: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'chimp.battlemonkey.net' failed error: 'Lost connection to MySQL server during query' I can connect fine from the localhost to the socket: [root@chimp etc]# mysqladmin version -p Enter password: mysqladmin Ver 8.23 Distrib 3.23.52, for pc-linux-gnu on i686 Copyright (C) 2000 MySQL AB & MySQL Finland AB & TCX DataKonsult AB This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

The script works for starting the daemon: [root@chimp etc]# /sbin/service mysqld start Starting MySQL: [ OK ] But not for stopping it: [root@chimp etc]# /sbin/service mysqld stop Stopping MySQL: [FAILED] I can only stop the daemon with: [root@chimp etc]# mysqladmin -p shutdown Thanks in advance, nicholas calugar --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
