You should really join the mysql lists for this question, but I'll tell you what I suspect it is. The RH8 has a glibc that breaks mysql (among other things).
http://lists.mysql.com/cgi-ez/ezmlm-cgi?1:mss:122632 Temporary solutions: - downgrade glibc or - run MySQL server with --skip-name-resolving option I have had limited luck by upgrading mysql to the latest RPMs just released the other day on their site. It is peculiar, but only some mysql clients work now and others don't. which is better than nothing at the moment. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:redhat-list-admin@;redhat.com] On Behalf Of Sherif D Mohamad > Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 1:51 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: mysqld rh8.0, connect tcp error? > > > I do not know the error : error query string > But you have to login locally as root to mysql first and > enable login from other IPs , look at : > http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_MySQ L_Database_Adm inistration.html#Adding_users To use : Grant <some privilege> on somedatabase.sometable to AUser@AHost Identified ....... -> continue ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lewi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 4:06 AM Subject: mysqld rh8.0, connect tcp error? > I have installed rh8.0, with mysql server installed from redhat I can > connect to mysql server only from this server, if I connect from > another server, there is error said something like this: "error query > string" > > I have try connect with tcp : > mysql -u root -p -h myserver > and get status connection normally > > I have searching in google about this kind of problem, but none of solution > > -- > ichtus > ------ > Lewi Supranata .K > ICQ: 50643061 > About Me : http://lewi.f4boys.com > Homepage : http://mercury7.petra.ac.id/~ichtus > GnuPG Public Key : http://mercury7.petra.ac.id/~ichtus/ichtus-keys2 > > > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
