I'm new to MySQL and now a problem occured: I'm running a mysql-server on linux with a database test. No I want to connect to this via MyODBC from Windows and Linux clients. So I installed /etc/odbc.ini on the server: [MySQLtest] Description = MySQL fuer DB 'test' auf localhost Driver = MySQL Trace = No TraceFile = /tmp/mysql_proto Host=192.168.0.99 Port =3306 UserName = Password = Socket = Database = test Option = 1 DB = test I'm able to connect from a Windows client via MyODBC and I can connect from the server itself using isql. So I tried to connect from another Linux client using the same odbc.ini, but I get the following message: root@workstation3:/home/manuel > isql -v MySQLtest dbuser [unixODBC][TCX][MyODBC]Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) [ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect root@workstation3:/home/manuel > It seems to try to connect to a local mysql-server, wich doesn't exist? My /etc/odbc.ini on the other Linux client (same as on the server): [MySQLtest] Description = MySQL fuer DB 'test' auf localhost Driver = MySQL Trace = No TraceFile = /tmp/mysql_proto Host= 192.168.0.99 Port = UserName = Password = Socket = Database = test Option = 1 DB = test So how can I tell MyODBC to use 192.168.0.99 and not to use localhost?
