Re: logging issue
I'm inclined to think this is a database config issue in MailScanner. Double check the Port setting that MailScanner is using and check that against the port that your MySQL server binds to. It is normally 3306, and they should match. If you don't know how to check, can you send me the output of: netstat -tan | grep 3306 Your log output shows an error code of 110 which means 'Connection timed out'. This is different to 'Connection refused'. Is there a possibility of very high database activity from another source while MailScanner is trying to get at the database? How you tried invoking the MailScanner connection at different times of the day? What interface does MailScanner use to connect? It looks like Perl DBI, but you may be using ODBC? Finally, can you tell me your perl version by: perl -v Imran Chaudhry -- http://www.EjectDisc.com Get your Digital Identity - Domain Names, Web Space, E-mail More! -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
logging issue
System: Red hat 7.2 My SQL modules: MySQL-devel-4.0.13-0 php-mysql-4.1.2-7.2.6 MySQL-shared-3.23.55-1 MySQL-server-4.0.13-0 MySQL-client-4.0.13-0 CAMysql-9.0-220 Msql-Mysql-DBI-perl-bin-1.1823-1 I would like to log or turn on the facility to do a verbose logging to troubleshoot an issue I'm having with a program on another (mail) server trying to access the mysql server. From the mail server I can issue the following: mysql -h 192.168.10.4 -u mailwatch -p and enter the password and it connects. Yet from within the initial program it does not work and in the mail logs it has: Jan 3 18:19:31 mail MailScanner[11376]: Unable to initialise database connection: Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.10.4' (110) I've ask the mailscanner list, the mailwatch list and the postfix list and we are not getting anywhere.

If you're not using SSL, I'd recommend that you fire up ethereal on the client or the server . You can have ethereal show you the entire conversation - should help you filter out several different types of problems that could occur. A lot of things could be happening outside of what MySQL would see (for example, the mailscanner could be trying to connect to the wrong port on the server - the (110) makes me wonder if it's trying to connect to port 110). This would help diagnose a lot of those. -- Chander Ganesan Open Technology Group, Inc.

RE: logging issue
Morning Jon, You will not be too successful in using MySQL logging to trace this. You need to be able to connect to the server at the very least before this would help. I don't know much about MailScanner but I would be checking a couple of things, 1) do you have a firewall in place? is the port (generally 3306) open? and 2) is there a configuration file for MailScanner that has been set up correctly? This sounds more like a network issue rather than a MySQL problem. Are you able to ping 192.168.10.4 from the MailScanner box? Can you telnet to it? You could use tcpdump or similar to check the network conversations.
