hi all: I'm a new one. I have a mysql server in 192.168.27.72 , and a mysql client in 192.168.23.73. I use this way: mysql -h 192.168.27.72 -u root -p
the ERROR message is: ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.27.72' (111) ######################################################################### mysql> select host, user, password from user; +-----------------+------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | host | user | password | +-----------------+------------------+-------------------------------------------+ | localhost | root | 023c30696e164488 | | vps192168027072 | root | | | 127.0.0.1 | root | | | localhost | | | | vps192168027072 | | | | localhost | monty | 0fc756bc026507b2 | | % | monty | 0fc756bc026507b2 | | localhost | gdnscenter | 184a22a73852ad5b | | % | gdns_replication | 2dbc2f8719c4ffcd | | % | root | 023c30696e164488 | | 192.168.23.73 | root | *EAB821151A3DE1A8FA76CD28D8F3BBD2389751F6 | | 0.0.0.0 | root | *EAB821151A3DE1A8FA76CD28D8F3BBD2389751F6 | +-----------------+------------------+-------------------------------------------+ 12 rows in set (0.00 sec) ######################################################################### And in 192.168.27.72 ######################################################################### service iptables status Firewall is stopped. ######################################################################### and there are not "bind-address " and "skip_networking" in my.cnf 。 I have installed the mysql in this way: ######################################################################### yum -y install mysql-server #vim /etc/my.cnf [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock # Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x # clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package). old_passwords=1 default-character-set = utf8 [mysql] default-character-set = utf8 [root@sample ~]# chkconfig mysqld on [root@sample ~]# chkconfig --list mysqld mysqld 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off chattr -i /etc/group chattr -i /etc/passwd chattr -i /etc/shadow chattr -i /etc/gshadow useradd mysql chattr +i /etc/group chattr +i /etc/passwd chattr +i /etc/shadow chattr +i /etc/gshadow chown mysql /var/run/mysqld/ cd /var/lib/mysql chown mysql -R * cd �C mysql_install_db --user=mysql --ldata=/var/lib/mysql [root@sample ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start ######################################################################### Thank you
