MySQL security help

Postby ascheinberg » 05. August 2004 16:40

I have been tasked with converting one of my MySQL databases in XAMPP over to SQL Server 2000. I have a tool to do this, but I can't connect to the MySQL server over the network since I ran ./lampp security. It doesn't work at all, even with the MySQL ODBC driver, or with MySQL Control Center or MySQL admin. I even tried to add an iptables rule to allow traffic on port 3306.

My question is, how can I allow network connections to MySQL again? Running the security program again doesn't help. I can't find any documentation to re-enable this access, and poking through /opt/lampp/etc/my.conf doesn't immediately show any way to do this. Anyone know how to reverse the security features?

Thanks!

Dear Adam!

Looks like you disabled MySQL network access. ;)

Find the following lines in your /opt/lampp/etc/my.conf :

[mysqld]
# commented out by lampp security
#port = 3306
port = 0


and change them to

[mysqld]
port = 3306


Restart MySQL and you can access MySQL by network again.

Good luck

I had already un-commented the #port = 3306 but didn't get rid of the port = 0 right after it. Thanks.

If you didn't get my e-mail last week, I wanted to say thanks again. XAMPP is simply amazing!

Also, I'd love to see PostgreSQL support in a future version. Awesome job!
