Okay, got the system up and running locally. The programmer wants to be able to access the MySQL server via the internet. We have MySQL installed on a Linux server, this sits behind a firewall with port 3306 opened. The programmer has phpMyAdmin installed on his laptop (Widows XP Pro). We keep getting a 'cannot connect to server on 'domain'' error. Also I want to have a logfile setup to log this type of problem. I see nothing in the /var/log/messages or /var/log/mysql.log. In /etc/my.cnf I have the following: [mysqld] datadir =3D /var/lib/mysql socket =3D /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
[mysql.server] user =3D mysql basedir =3D /var/lib [safe_mysqld] err-log =3D /var/log/mysqld.log log =3D /var/log/mysqlquery.log pid-file =3D /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid Will changing the line that contains the myql.sock to tcp help? Any suggestions?
