The Perfect Server - Debian Lenny (Debian 5.0) [ISPConfig 3] - Page 3 vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf - the lines containing: [...] # Instead of skip-networking the default is now to listen only on # localhost which is more compatible and is not less secure. #bind-address = 127.0.0.1 [...] Are not included in the file: - Am I doing something wrong? # # The MySQL database server configuration file. # # You can copy this to one of: # - "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" to set global options, # - "~/.my.cnf" to set user-specific options. # # One can use all long options that the program supports. # Run program with --help to get a list of available options and with # --print-defaults to see which it would actually understand and use. # # For explanations see # http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/server-system-variables.html # This will be passed to all mysql clients # It has been reported that passwords should be enclosed with ticks/quotes # escpecially if they contain "#" chars... # Remember to edit /etc/mysql/debian.cnf when changing the socket location. [client] port = 3306 socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock # Here is entries for some specific programs # The following values assume you have at least 32M ram # This was formally known as [safe_mysqld].

How do I edit out the localhost so that MySQL listens on all ports?
And you are really sure that you are using debian etch? Please post the output of: grep bind-address /etc/mysql/my.cnf

I try to follow the Howto word-for-word so I suppose I can be considered a beta tester of the instructions. I am definitely NOT using ETCH - can you help to bind to ALL please?
You have to comment out the line as the tutorial describes, so find the line: bind-address = 127.0.0.1 and change it to: # bind-address = 127.0.0.1 and then restart mysql.
Thanks Till but......... As stated above, I have printed out my.cnf and It does not contain the line bind-address = 127.0.0.1 so it becomes rather difficult to comment out a line that is not there! I will have a look again before I revert to ISPConfig 2 - as you suggested in another thread, ISPConfig3 is not fully finished yet and there is no indication when it may be stable.
Take a look at post #3 and you see that you already confirmed that it contains the line So take a closer look at it and change it! You have to find and change the exact same line for ispconfig 2 as well, so that makes no difference.
