Re: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111

Alright, so I'm answering my own thread, but I'm happy to have figured this one out. Somewhere I had seen advice (not on this forum I believe) on opening up access in /etc/hosts.allow. This was actually causing me problems. I don't know if I'm able to connect remotely yet, though I have a good idea that I've avoided a potential issue by first solving this.

So to summarize my changes, I ensured that I have a bind-address that I will be using (hostname or host IP) and I should never have put mysqld in my /etc/hosts.allow file.

Isn't self-sabotage great?
