Followed the howto: Suse 10.3 perfect server guide and done exactly as described there. Ive read through the threads about this installation problem but noone seems to be giving an awnser, people just say "nevermind its working now" , so here i sit and curse for that the solution isnt being revealed anyway, netstat -tap | grep mysql Code: tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 13611/mysqld fping localhost localhost@localdomain server.******.homelinux.com server gives Code: localhost is alive localhost@localdomain is alive server is alive server.******.homelinux.com is alive cat /etc/hosts Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost@localdomain localhost # special IPv6 addresses ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback fe00::0 ipv6-localnet ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts 127.0.0.2 server.*******.homelinux.com server HTML: Still i get whatever i try typing: Please enter your MySQL server:localhost The MySQL server you specified cannot be reached! tried localhost,server,server.*****.homelinux.com,127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2,and the box current ip and the output of my iptables is Code: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination so no rules are blocking any connections at all. please help
You have an @ sign in /etc/hosts. Please make the file look like this: Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost [I]1.2.3.4[/I] server.*******.homelinux.com server # special IPv6 addresses ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback fe00::0 ipv6-localnet ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts Please replace 1.2.3.4 with your server's IP address.
didnt make the installer understand what either localhost, the box ip or anything. the mysql server isnt to be found, even though i can login from all thoose names and ip's ive tried in the script like. telnet localhost (or server (or the box ip)) 25 and mysql -h localhost (or server (or the box ip)) -u root -p thoose both work, why cant the script understand that btw, i have apparmor disabled aswell, forgot to mention that earlier. cheers for trying to help me!
What's the output of Code: netstat -tap ? What's in /etc/hosts now? Does your MySQL password contain special characters?

same here, im guessing that the setup script is to blame. i downloaded the latest nightly build from the repo , but in that version suse 10.3 wasnt supported... also tried to download a new copy of the stable version, but with no success i guess ill have to get back to good old ubuntu and hope for better luck there.
