Re: Lost Connection to MySQL

Ok. I'm going to answer my own question then so that other people who may stumble around this same issue can resolve it.

somehow in my.cnf I added a line bind-address = ip address of the server which somehow cause mysql to refuse and drop the packet connection to the server because the binding address is different than how I'm going to connect to the server which is localhost.

So I changed the bind-address=localhost , restart mysql and that solved the problem.
Here is the link reference on how I figured it out.

funny how you always solve the problem yourself after you start asking people how to do it even though you've been banging on your head for couple of days wondering what the heck is going on. :-)
