Re: SOLUTION TO : can't connect to MySql server on 'localhost' <10061>

[Anna]

telnet localhost 3306 or telnet 127.0.0.1 gives Error: "localhost.localdomain is not allowed to connect to this MySql ServerConnection closed by foreing host".

1. Telnet command was issued on the server logged in as root. Server is Ubuntu Linux, MySql, Apache and PHP.

2. /etc/mysql/my.cnf has got no bind-address=127.0.0.1 statement.

3. Reference to "localhost" under "::1" removed in /etc/hosts

4. skip-networking in /etc/mysql/my.cnf commented out.

5. lsof -i :3306 gives msqld 4354 mysql 3u IPv4 6883 TCP *:mysql (LISTEN)

6. netstat -l -t -p gives tcp 0 0 *:mysqld *.* LISTEN 4354/msqld

7. All privileges granted to root.

Any comments?
