[ubuntu-us-nm] MySQL server

[David Einerson]

Okay, well, let's rectify that :)

I just carefully re-read you email and I should ask a few clarifying
questions - my apologies if they are answered in the 1st email and I am
simply not clear.


   1. Is the mysql instance on a local machine or a remote one from where
   you are attempting to connect? mysql, by default disables all connectivity
   except on the machine where it is installed, which means that if I ssh into
   a server with mysql installed, it considers me local and I can run commands
   all day long, but if I run a mysql client of any sort on a different
   (remote) machine, it will not connect (not sure of the exact error it
   gives). The solution to this issue is in adding the IP address in
   my.conf. Here's a good reference:
   https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/mysql.html
   2. How did you install mysql? Via LAMP or another more targeted install?
