RE: RH 8.0 and mySQL

["Richard Humphrey" <richard multicam com>]

We are unable to connect via telnet to port 3306 (does telnet server need to
be running?)  This machine is on our LAN and already behind a firewall, so
no firewall is running locally on the machine. I ran the netstat command and
it appears to be listening on port 3306.  What should I check for in the
mySQL config?

telnet to the mysql server on port 3306 from the remote server and
see if you can connect.


if you can then it works, if you cannot then check firewall settings
and mysql config.

also run netstat -an | grep 3306 on the mysql server to be sure
it's listening for connections

I highly reccomend securing mysql connections with stunnel.
