Hello,
how can I force mysql interactive client (actually the client library as well) to use a TCP port on the local host if I do: mysql -h localhost -u user -p --port=2000 I get: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' what might be a problem is: it seems, for reasons I don't entirely understand possibly related to the network configuration on this node, I need to use the name 'localhost' rather than the actual name of the node! thanks in advance for the help Murad --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
