MacInTouch Reader The 10.4.3 server upgrade turns off network access to the mysql server. This seems to be a botch-up by Apple - the default now seems to be to turn off network access to the mysql server. Diagnosis: Do a ps -aux |grep mysql You will see (among others) a line with: /bin/sh /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql --skip-networking The key is the --skip-networking parameter. You need to restart mysqld with this turned off. Corrective action: This option is set either by using the "MySQL Manager" application in the server folder and enabling network connections, or by editing the file /etc/mysqlManager.plist, setting the key "allowNetwork" to "yes". Then restart mysqld: % sudo SystemStarter stop MySQL % sudo SystemStarter start MySQL ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf |
