Re: Why is Host option Failing?
Michael: It could be that MySQL is only listening on localhost (127.0.0.1) and not your net IP. Check your network settings in your server config. Alternately, you can also do a netstat -anp | grep mysql As root and see where it is listening.

Why is Host option Failing?
I've recently reloaded my box (PCLinuxOS). The machine name on the network is photon. I've set this in the hosts table, in hostname, and on the network. in my.cnf I have the following 2 lines: bind-address= photon bind-address= localhost The skip-networking directive is commented out. If I execute mysql -h photon I get: ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'photon' (111). mysql -h localhost Works fine. Would someone be so kind as to let me know what I'm missing?

Re: Why is Host option Failing?
What user are you at the time you are running these tests. Would I be correct in guessing 'root'? The reason localhost works is because, in some distros, root is enabled localhost with no password .. which is dangerous enough.. granting root@'% would be an invitation to disaster.. From that same command line, what do you get for $ dig photon You likely want to make a grant suitable rfor that network address for the user you are trying to use. - michael dykman On Sun, Jul 4, 2010 at 6:38 PM, Michael Satterwhite mich...@weblore.com wrote: I've recently reloaded my box (PCLinuxOS).
