In this episode I figured out that the problem is not stunnel or the remote connection. I simply cant log in with the command:
mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 -p I just get a connection refused message. There should be a trick here that I'm missing if history is a lesson, but I'm a noob to mysql. Anyone know it? I can't use my other mere mortal account to log in either although both work fine if I say: mysql -u root -h localhost -p --- Dan Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In the last episode (Nov 25), twig les said: > > Hey all, I'm having a painful time trying to get > stunnel and mysql to > > play together.
