Hello: I am trying to install the ispconfig system inside a xen vm. Once i get to this line: mysqladmin -h vm01.coronohosting.com -u root password ******* I got this: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'vm01.coronohosting.com' failed error: 'Lost connection to MySQL server during query' So i commented out the bind-address and I tried to command again, and I got this: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'vm01.coronohosting.com' failed error: 'Host 'vm01.coronohosting.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server' I even tried defining the the vm01 hostname in /etc/hosts and it didn't work. Output of netstat: Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 922/mysqld tcp 0 0 vm01.coronohosti:domain *:* LISTEN 825/named tcp 0 0 localhost.locald:domain *:* LISTEN 825/named tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 970/sshd tcp 0 0 localhost.localdom:smtp *:* LISTEN 863/exim4 tcp 0 0 localhost.localdoma:953 *:* LISTEN 825/named tcp 0 0 vm01.coronohosting.:ssh 10.0.0.128:4414 ESTABLISHED995/sshd: admin [pr Any suggestions? Thank you Any suggestions?
I guess your problem is not related to ISPConfig or xen, maybe there is no permission record for vm01.coronohosting.com in your mysql users database table that you can change. You can skip this step and check later with e.g. phpmyadmin if there is another permission record where the password must be set.
