hi i went into the secure lampp and when it said to make mysql not accessible from the network i said yes. well now i need it to be accessible through the network. how do i set it back because when i re run the security part of lampp it skips the mysql part? any help is appreciated =)

Hey dagamerc13,

Open your /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf file. You can use this command to do so and have proper editing permissions:

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf

Now find the following and comment it out as shown here:

Code: Select all

skip-networking

Change it to:

#skip-networking

Now type this to restart everything:

Code: Select all

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart

That should change it back to the default.
