Subject: mysql-client: network connection from localhost Package: mysql-client Version: 3.23.38-4 Severity: normal We maintain several servers with multiple IPs on each system as eth0:X. When connecting to "localhost" or to the main IP of the system (eth0) all operates okay, but if we connect to a virtual IP we get following error message: s-s6:~# mysql -h212.172.193.115 -uusername -p dbname Enter password: ERROR 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query What may be wrong? Connection from outside of other hosts in the network is okay again, only from localhost to virtual IPs do not work. # ifconfig eth0:5 eth0:5 inet addr:212.172.193.115 Bcast:212.172.193.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 mysql> select * from user; | Host | User | privs | s-s6 | root | all Y | localhost | root | all Y | % | username | all N mysql> select * from host; | Host | Db | privs | % | dbname | all Y mysql> select * from db; | Host | Db | User | privs | % | dbname | username | all Y Shalom!
