I'm having a problem connecting to MySQL database using phpMyAdmin from a remote location. I've had a look at the manual but I'm not too clear on what has to be done. I see that the connection is through a socket. Can I change this to connect using an ip connection? Reason I ask is because the MySQL server actually sits behind a firewall (iptables Forward rule) and I have the port 3306 opened and forwarding packets (at least I think I do) to the SQL server. The following error is what I get:
--Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /var/www/html/phpMyAdmin/lib.inc.php3 on line 255 Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /var/www/html/phpMyAdmin/lib.inc.php3 on line 255 Error MySQL said: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) Jon Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MMT Networks Pty Ltd --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
