Hi,
I am setting up MySQL on a development box. I have set it up and can
connect from localhost, but I cannot connect from another computer on
the network. I have narrowed down the problem quite a bit, but can't
quite figure it out still.
I am getting MySQL Error Number 2003 "Can't connect to MySQL server on
'server'. I know that the server is there because I can ping it. I am
also running a webserver from that computer and I am able to access
that just fine. I know that it is not a rights issue because if you
try to connect with a user that doesn't have rights, MySQL will respond
"Access denied for user: 'user@host' (Using password: YES)".
I checked on the host machine and check that the following are true:
- mysqld.exe is in the process list (in the task manager)
- MySQL is running on port 3306 (the one I'm trying to access it from)
Does anyone have any ideas why I am unable to connect to the MySQL
server?
