If remote clients will connect directly to your MySQL server then you will need to open port 3306. If you are only going to access MySQL via server side scripts (PHP) then you will not need to open this port as the scripts will connect to the localhost.
If you cannot see your web site then it sounds like a configuration problem with Apache. You might check your Apache config file. You might also check your firewall and router settings to make certain that port 80 is open. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
