Will, |||)So I still need some more ideas.
I have to learn your problem each time again when I setup a new machine every half a year. I try each time the following hostnames: localhost (didn't work 4u) 127.0.0.1 (IP for localhost) hostname (e.g. databaseserver.mydomain.com- what you called the machine) 192.168.0.x (Your real network IP, can also be in 10.* or 172.25.*) localhost.localdomain (results to same as hostname) one of them fit's ;o) ... if not I install webmin from www.webmin.com and connect via Browser to the machine (http://IP.ADD.RE.SS:10000 - login as root). In Webmin's server section you have a complete webbased MySQL administration. There I make all settings and forget about it. It just works after this setup.
