[uug] Mysql socket / port problem

[Mark Gardner]

Debian 3.0 Sarge install with mysql.  Mysql works fine on localhost. And my applications that need to use it.  However I’m in a situation where I need to access the databases remotely via tcp/ip or in other words on port 3306 (which I think is the default).   When I run an nmap on localhost 3306 does not show up as being open or closed.   How do I make it use a port an not a socket? This is the output venus:~# nmap localhost   Starting nmap 3.27 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2003-07-31 09:39 MDT Interesting ports on venus (127.0.0.1): (The 1608 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port       State       Service 9/tcp      open        discard 13/tcp     open        daytime 21/tcp     open        ftp 22/tcp     open        ssh 25/tcp     open        smtp 37/tcp     open        time 111/tcp    open        sunrpc 139/tcp    open        netbios-ssn 143/tcp    open        imap2 220/tcp    open        imap3 445/tcp    open        microsoft-ds 616/tcp    open        unknown 993/tcp    open        imaps 2401/tcp   open        cvspserver 10000/tcp  open        snet-sensor-mgmt   Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1.232 seconds
