I'm having trouble at the mysql section of the "CentOS 5.1 Server Setup: LAMP, Email, DNS, FTP, ISPConfig (a.k.a. The Perfect Server) - Page 4" tutorial. Let me know if this is a silly question but I'm wondering how I find out what to put in the server1.example.com part of this line: mysqladmin -h server1.example.com -u root password yourrootsqlpassword I know what I named the server but I don't know what domain it is part of. I'm trying to set this up as part of a school project and to host the portfolio I'm working on for class. Thanks, Derek
Take a look at chapter 8 on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_server_opensuse10.3_p4 , beginning with "As you've seen in the netstat output, MySQL is not only listening on localhost, but on all interfaces, which means it can be accessed from the outside.".
