RE: Connecting to MySQL on Linux from a Windows machine. -- Resolved !!
Well, after much fussing around with RPM's and searching this list, I have resolved my problem. The clue was the discussion on this list regarding the glibc bug. I upgraded to the 4.0.x RPM's that I got from the MySQL site and after I got all of the dependency problems fixed I was able to start up a MySQL/PHP setup that worked. Now both the website development works and I can use MyCC on the windows machine to administer the database. Thank you to all that considered my problem. --Will - 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?

RE: Connecting to MySQL on Linux from a Windows machine.
Will, Do you have a user/host pair for the client in the user table within the mysql database?? It's not good enough just to have a user, the host has to be setup too. I cannot connect from my Windows machine to the MySQL database running on the Linux server. I have tried several different programs and they all report an error that says Lost connection to MySQL server during connection. I have read all the articles I can find and searched the archives as well as I can figure out but I am still stumped. Here are some pertinent details. 1) The Server is running Redhat 7.3 and MySQL 3.23.49. It is on my local network at 192.168.3.2 and there are no firewalls between it and the Windows machine. (Both are behind the same firewall, and completely open to each other.) 2) The Windows machine is running Win98 SE at 192.168.3.x (DHCP). 3) On the linux machine I can access MySQL just fine. The mysql command works, and I can serve web pages with PHP/MySQL content. 4) I can telnet, Samba, xterm, etc. to the linux machine just fine. I can telnet to port 80 and get a connection although it doesn't do much there. 5) I cannot telnet to port 3306. When I try, I get an immediate Host connection lost. error. Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Re: Connecting to MySQL on Linux from a Windows machine.
Hi, It seems to me that you can't connect to MySQL from an other machine at all. Did you start MySQL with the --skip-networking option? Try removing that option from the start-up scripts. \Olaf Will Merrell wrote: I cannot connect from my Windows machine to the MySQL database running on the Linux server.

RE: Connecting to MySQL on Linux from a Windows machine.
Thank you to both of you who responded to my question. I have checked both of these issues and found that neither solve my situation. 1) I have (and had) both a 'will@localhost' and a 'will@%' entry in the user table. Is there something else that has to be done to set up the host? 2) According to 'mysqladmin variables' the --skip-networking option is set to OFF. That should mean that Olaf's suggestion is satisfied, right? So I still need some more ideas. Why am I not able to connect to MySQL from another machine?

RE: Connecting to MySQL on Linux from a Windows machine.
Will, |||)So I still need some more ideas. I have to learn your problem each time again when I setup a new machine every half a year. I try each time the following hostnames: localhost (didn't work 4u) 127.0.0.1 (IP for localhost) hostname (e.g. databaseserver.mydomain.com- what you called the machine) 192.168.0.x (Your real network IP, can also be in 10.* or 172.25.*) localhost.localdomain (results to same as hostname) one of them fit's ;o) ... if not I install webmin from www.webmin.com and connect via Browser to the machine (http://IP.ADD.RE.SS:1 - login as root). In Webmin's server section you have a complete webbased MySQL administration. There I make all settings and forget about it. It just works after this setup.

RE: Connecting to MySQL on Linux from a Windows machine.
Thank you, but at this point I am pretty sure that my problem is not a matter of entries in the user table. When I attempt to telnet into port 3306 the connection is immediately dropped. I don't really know if any connection is actually established at all, it may be established and immediately dropped on simply refused from the start. There does not appear to be any exchange of user names or passwords. I have several variations of my username and host name in the user table. I believe that one of them should have worked if that was the problem. I believe that the problem lies in the mysql configuration. I think that it is not responding to the TCP/IP port in the way that I need it to. I have verified that the --skip-network flag is NOT set (set to OFF) so it is not that simple, but I cannot find any other flag that looks any more promising. Any other Ideas? BTW Thanks for the webmin tip, I'll give it a try. Doesn't solve all of my problem, but it may help.

I believe that one of them should have worked if that was the problem. If you try and telnet to port 3306 on the machine that MySQL is running on, you will see the connection being established, then you'll see garbage, as MySQL is designed to talk to clients on that port, not humans ;) If you are seeing the connection being established, then *immediately* dropped, not refused, then the problem may be in MySQL. If the connection is refused, this is a different issue. Depending on what version of MySQL and Linux/whatever you're running, I believe there's a verified problem with MySQL and RedHat Linux - mismatch of glibc version, I think. - 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?
