Try this.. service iptables stop
on the server that mysql is running on and see if it gives you an ok. Then try the telnet to 3306 from the remote machine again. If it works then there are firewall rules in place. Let me know and we can stop the firewall from loading with the os. Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc.

This machine is on our LAN and already behind a firewall, so no firewall is running locally on the machine. I ran the netstat command and it appears to be listening on port 3306. What should I check for in the mySQL config? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of nate Sent: Friday, February 28, 2003 4:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: RH 8.0 and mySQL Richard Humphrey said: > I have a default install of RH 8 and mySQL 3.23.15 (I think) and I can get > things to work just fine using PHP locally, but if I try from another > server to run some PHP scripts I am told that I am unable to connect.

What else could be causing this problem? telnet to the mysql server on port 3306 from the remote server and see if you can connect. if you can then it works, if you cannot then check firewall settings and mysql config. also run netstat -an | grep 3306 on the mysql server to be sure it's listening for connections I highly reccomend securing mysql connections with stunnel. nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
