    I am very much a Linux newbie. I have just installed MySQL on Ubuntu. I want it to be available to my other PCs but I can't seem to get it to listen on port 3306. Can anyone help me achieve this?

    Can you post your /etc/mysql/my.cnf file here?

    Comment out the line
    Code:
    bind-address            = 127.0.0.1
    so that it reads
    Code:
    #bind-address            = 127.0.0.1
    and restart MySQL:
    Code:
    /etc/init.d/mysql restart
